Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (optional for topping)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchinis and place them in a large bowl. Sprinkle with salt and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices. Top with half of the sautéed spinach and half of the crumbled feta cheese. Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini, spinach, and feta.
  5. Pour the vegetable broth evenly over the layers. Sprinkle with dried oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Drizzle the remaining olive oil over the top.
  6. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs (if using) over the top of the casserole.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy baked zucchini, spinach, and feta casserole!

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh zucchini and spinach. If fresh spinach isn't available, you can use frozen spinach, but be sure to thaw and drain it well. Add extra cheese if desired, and customize with herbs like parsley or dill for added freshness.
