Cheesy Zucchini Bake

Ingredients:
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 2 medium-sized yellow squash
  • 4 Tbsp chopped fresh basil
  • 4 Tbsp thinly sliced green onion
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp dried parsley
  • 3/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 shredded Italian cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
Preparations: 
  1. Preheat oven to 350F. Spray an 8" x 8" baking dish with non-stick spray. 
  2. Wash the squash and cut in slices or half-moon slices. Wash basil, spin dry or dry with paper towels and finely chop. Slice green onions. 
  3. Combine the sliced squash, chopped basil, sliced green onions, oregano, parsley, garlic powder, half cup of shredded cheese, all the parmesan, and stir together until the veggies are coated with cheese and the herbs are well-distributed. 
  4. Put the mixture in the baking dish and bake uncovered for about 40 minutes.
  5. Take the casserole dish out of the oven and sprinkle over the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Put the dish back in the oven and bake 20 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted and nicely browned.
