Ingredients

• 4 medium zucchini
• 4 medium tomatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Wash and slice the zucchini and tomatoes into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Set aside.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Step 5

In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and basil. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon of olive oil and stir until combined. Set aside.

Step 6

Lightly grease a 9x13-inch casserole dish. Layer half of the zucchini slices on the bottom, followed by half of the tomato slices. Sprinkle with half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture. Season with half of the salt and pepper.

Step 7

Repeat the layering process with the remaining zucchini, tomatoes, onion, and garlic. Season with the remaining salt and pepper.

Step 8

Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.

Step 9

Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Step 10

Remove the foil and evenly sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the casserole. Return to the oven and bake uncovered for an additional 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 11

Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy!
