Zucchini Potato Bake Ingredients:

Zucchini – Use 3 large zucchini, chopped into chunks. If you’d like to cut them into slices instead, you can do that.

The zucchini for thisrecipe doesn’t need to be peeled – just chopped.

Potatoes – Use Idaho Potatoes or Yukon Potatoes. Peel then and dice them up to bite size.

Bell pepper – I prefer green bell pepper because what’s what we grow, but you can use red bell pepper too.

Italian bread crumbs – The Italian flavor adds a nice seasoned cruncy taste. You can also use Panko if that’s what you have on hand.

Parmesan cheese – adds a little cheesiness. Want it extra cheesy? Add shredded cheese on top with 10 minutes left.

How to Bake Zucchini Casserole

This is such a easy casserole to prep!

Chop up the zucchini, no need to peel them. Add them to an 11×8 baking dish.

Chop up the potatoes and add them into the dish too. Peeling is optional, but they bake more evenly peeled in my opinion.

Add in the reset of the ingredients, stirring to fully mix the ingredients.

Bake until the vegetables are tender, 45 minutes to 55 minutes, depending on how small you chopped the veggies.

Serve warm and enjoy!

How to Serve

• Serve the zucchini casserole as a healthy and satisfying main course, along with crusty Italian or ciabatta bread.

How to Store

Store Zucchini Casserole in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 2-3 days. Make sure to allow the casserole to cool before storing it, this prevents condensation and helps maintain the texture of the dish.
