PIN Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake to try it later!<\/a><\/p>\n August 8 is national \u201cSneak Some Zucchini onto Your Neighbor\u2019s Porch Day<\/a>!\u201d And for everyone who\u2019s giving away zucchini or hoping to get some, I\u2019m reminding you about this Easy Cheesy Zucchini Bake<\/strong>. This has been the most popular zucchini recipe on my blog for years! Every summer I wonder if the recipe will still be popular, and then I notice people are starting to visit it again. Have you tried this recipe that\u2019s the number one recipe out of all the low-carb zucchini recipes<\/a> on my blog?<\/p>\n It was my sister Pam who originally found the inspiring recipe (in 2011!) Pam changed the recipe a bit when she made it, and I changed it a bit more when I tried it. Pam and I were both impressed with how this idea of tossing zucchini with a few fresh and dried herbs and cheese and then baking it produced a cheesy zucchini bake that\u2019s so delicious.<\/p>\n I\u2019ll be honest, I did make it a little cheesier than the original recipe! And we used a very generous amount of sliced basil. The other change I made was to use a larger casserole dish that was 8 inches x 11 inches. I really like how this larger dish lets the zucchini spread out more so every piece of zucchini gets covered with cheese!<\/p>\n This recipe is probably already a favorite for many of you. But for newer readers who haven\u2019t tried it, I hope you make this favorite popular side dish the next tune you get zucchini from the garden or the farmers market!<\/p>\n (This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE<\/strong> link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe with ingredient amounts.<\/p>\n Personally I think the grated Mozzarella and coarsely-grated Parmesan used in this cheesy zucchini recipe is perfect to go with the flavor of basil and fresh zucchini. But if you\u2019d prefer another cheese you can use any white cheese that melts well.<\/p>\n I\u2019m pretty sure many people making this recipe don\u2019t care a bit about carbs! But for those who do, the recipe has only 3 net carbs per serving with 14 grams of protein!<\/p>\n The popularity of this recipe shows how many people are fans of the combination of zucchini with cheese!
