GARLIC PARMESAN ZUCCHINI TOMATO BAKE

Pinterest find. This is supposed to be a side dish but I add cooked chicken to it before I bake it and use it for the main dish. I serve it with the quinoa and brown rice packet I get from Costco but I think it would be good over pasta. I have also added red pepper and carrots on occasion. 

Ingredients
  • 2 large or 2.5 lbs zucchini, cut into quarters
  • 10 oz grape tomatoes, cut in halves or 2 large tomatoes, diced
  • 7 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
  • 1 tsp basil/thyme/oregano, dried
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup parsley or basil, finely chopped
  • Cooking spray (I use Misto)

  • Directions
    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and spray 8 x 8 or 9 x 11 baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, add all ingredients, except parsley/basil, and stir to combine. Transfer to a prepared baking dish and bake uncovered for 25 minutes for crunchy zucchini or 35 minutes if you like well cooked vegetables. I recommend checking for doneness with a fork or knife after 25 minutes. Remove from the oven, garnish with basil or parsley and serve hot/warm
  • *** I only cook mine for 20 mins***
