Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
  2. Thinly slice the zucchinis into rounds. Place them in a colander, sprinkle with salt, and let them sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Pat dry with a paper towel.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped spinach and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted. Remove from heat and set aside.
  4. In a bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, shredded mozzarella, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  5. In the prepared baking dish, layer half of the zucchini slices. Spread the sautéed spinach evenly over the zucchini. Dollop the cheese mixture over the spinach and spread it out. Top with the remaining zucchini slices.
  6. Sprinkle breadcrumbs (if using) and a little extra Parmesan cheese on top. Drizzle with the remaining olive oil.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly, and the zucchini is tender.
  8. Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy Baked Zucchini, Spinach, and Feta Casserole!

Notes

Salting and draining the zucchini helps remove excess moisture, preventing a watery casserole. Customize the cheese or add protein like cooked chicken for a heartier dish. Assemble ahead of time for meal prep.
