Easy Zucchini Bake

Easy Zucchini Bake (Recipe created by Me)

Ingredients:
1-2 large garden zucchinis
1 jar pasta sauce (I used a jar of puttanesca from target, has olives
and capers in it)
Cheese for on top (I used mostly mozzarella with some freshly grated Parmesan)
Oregano for sprinkling on top the cheese

Oven 375 and then broil top if needed


If you'd rather do more, you can always layer the zucchini into a lasagna, use meat sauce, and ricotta cheese between the layers! That is delicious as well and extremely low-carb/gluten-free!


Slice zucchini into "steaks"


Boil zucchini for a few minutes until "crisp-tender"


Put a little pasta sauce down in your baking pan and layer the zucchini slices


Spread remaining pasta sauce over zucchini slices


Sprinkle cheese on top (I did mozzarella first, and then some freshly grated parmesan)

Sprinkle Oregano on top of cheese


Bake 375 until cheese is golden

What I did: (10-15 minutes, and then broil 3-5 minutes on high for a real golden color like below)


Enjoy!!!
