Description

Tender zucchini and sweet corn mingle with juicy tomato slices, all crowned by a crisp, cheesy Parmesan topping. A warm, comforting bake that brings garden freshness straight to your table in every savory spoonful.


Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 1.5 cups corn kernels
  • 2 large tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
  2. In a large bowl, toss sliced zucchini, corn kernels and tomato slices with olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt and pepper.
  3. Spread half of the vegetable mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs; sprinkle half of this mixture over the vegetables.
  5. Top with the remaining vegetable mixture and then sprinkle the rest of the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture evenly on top.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh basil before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice over the bake before serving.
  • Swap breadcrumbs for panko for a lighter, crunchier crust.
  • Prepare this bake up to one day in advance and refrigerate before baking.
  • Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven until warmed through.
