  • Cutting Board
  • mixing bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini cut in slices or half-moon slices
  • 2 medium yellow squash cut in slices or half-moon slices
  • 4 T fresh basil chopped
  • 2 T green onion thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese see notes
  • ½ cup coarsely grated Parmesan plus a little more for the top if desired
  • salt to taste
  • fresh ground black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350F/180C. Spray an 8" x 8" or 8" x 11" baking dish with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  • Wash the squash and cut in slices or half-moon slices.
  • Wash basil, spin dry or dry with paper towels and finely chop or slice.
  • Slice green onions.
  • Combine the sliced squash, chopped basil, sliced green onions, dried thyme, garlic powder, ½ cup grated mozzarella, and ½ cup coarsely grated Parmesan, and stir together until the veggies are coated with cheese and the herbs are well-distributed. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper.
  • Put the mixture in the baking dish and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes, or slightly longer.
  • When the zucchini is nearly cooked through, take the casserole dish out of the oven and sprinkle over the remaining ½ cup of grated mozzarella, plus a little more Parmesan if desired.
  • Put the dish back in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted and nicely browned and zucchini is fully cooked.
  • Serve hot.
  • This kept well in the fridge overnight, but mine was gone the next day.

Notes

You can use more cheese or use other white cheese if you prefer but that will increase the amount of carbs in this recipe.
