Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 4 medium Roma tomatoes
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 small Garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.5 cup Mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.

Step 2

Wash and dry the zucchini and tomatoes. Slice them into thin, uniform rounds about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoned oil.

Step 4

Arrange the zucchini and tomato slices in an alternating, overlapping pattern in the prepared baking dish. Start at one end and repeat until the dish is filled.

Step 5

Drizzle the seasoned oil evenly over the zucchini and tomato slices, making sure each piece gets a light coating.

Step 6

In another small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the arranged vegetables.

Step 7

Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the topping is golden and bubbling.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful and healthy gratin!
