If you’re a food blogger with a mega-popular recipe like this Low-Carb Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake (seen by millions and millions of people), you’ll probably try to ignore the fact that you aren’t all that thrilled with the photo you took more than six years ago when your sister Pam first told you about the recipe! Especially when this recipe turned out to be number one when I spotlighted the Top Ten Low-Carb Zucchini Recipes on Kalyn’s Kitchen last summer.But this year when I noticed people starting to visit the recipe again something snapped in my photographer brain, and I decided this amazing and easy way to cook zucchini simply MUST have a new photo. Do you agree that the new photos shows off the deliciousness a little better?
When we were prepping the zucchini to reshoot photos I was telling Jake about how originally Pam changed the recipe a little from the one she found in Penzeys Back to School Catalog (in 2011!) and then I changed it a tiny bit more when I tried it, and how Pam and I were both so impressed with how this very basic idea of tossing zucchini with a few fresh and dried herbs and cheese and then baking it can produce a dish that’s so delicious.
And, wow, the Low-Carb Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake from the new photos was just as delicious as it looks! I’ll be honest, I did probably make it a little cheesier this time than the version from 2011, and Jake and I also used a very generous amount of sliced basil since I have some big plants in my window. But I would never dare change the amounts in the actual recipe (other than to add a note that you can use more than is called for on the cheese and basil.) So you can take your choice on that!
The other change I made was to switch this time from an 8-inch square casserole dish to one that was 8 inches x 11 inches. I really did like the way this larger dish let the zucchini spread out more so each piece was covered with cheese, but once again, take your choice on that! And zucchini season is here or neatly here for many of you, so when you get zucchini from your garden or the farmers market, you must try this, or make it again if you’re already a fan!
Wash zucchini, trim ends, and cut into slices or half-moon slices for larger zucchini. Wash and dry basil (I used a mini salad spinner) and then chop or slice the basil (I used Herb Scissors to get nice thin slices of basil.) Chop green onions, then toss together the sliced zucchini, sliced or chopped basil, sliced green onions, dried thyme, garlic powder, and 1/2 cup (or more) of each type of cheese. Season with salt and fresh-ground pepper and spread out in the baking dish.
Bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes, or slightly longer. (Until the zucchini is getting tender when you stick a fork into it.) Then sprinkle the remaining grated mozzarella or pizza cheese (and a little more Parmesan if desired) and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until the cheese is nicely melted and slightly browned. Serve hot and enjoy.
Make it a Meal: This would taste great with any kind of Low-Carb Grilled Chicken for a low-carb meal.
