I love eggplant parmesan and decided to substitute zucchini, not deep fry it, and cut down on bread crumbs to make it healthier. This dish is delicious and zucchini is also nutritious. A medium zucchini only has around 30 calories and contains protein, fiber, Vitamin B6, Folate, Potassium, Riboflavin, Manganese, Copper, and Iron. Plus it boasts almost 40% of the recommended daily value of Vitamin C.

It comes together easily and in a relatively short amount of time. Perfect for hectic back-to-school weeknights. I recommend serving it with a side salad or,  for a heartier meal, alongside a simple pasta or couscous.

ENJOY!

This dish is an absolute must for Easter dinner. Save a pig and opt for this filling and satisfying casserole. It is simply delicious!

If you use thin asparagus, reduce baking time by 15 minutes.

You can use another plant-based cheese other than parmesan, but I highly recommend sticking with the parm! I used Follow Your Heart Vegan Shreds, but Trader Joe’s non-dairy Parmesan is also a good choice.

This dish works great with or without cooked orzo tossed with olive oil and black garlic.

ENJOY!

My husband loves my zucchini and summer squash casserole but I wanted to try something different with the delectable squash.

In my opinion, this is even better than my eggplant parmesan and the perfect light, satisfying summer dinner. I love salad, especially during the warmer months, but sometimes a fresh homecooked meal tastes especially great.

Zucchini, classified as a fruit because of its seeds, is super low in fat, carbs, and sugar and rich in nutrients including Vitamins A and C, B6, Potassium, Magnesium, and Manganese which helps the body form connective tissue, bones, blood-clotting factors and is also necessary for normal brain and nerve functions.

The ingredients are simple and most likely you will have most of them available in your refrigerator. You can serve this dish with a fresh salad or a side of pasta.

It comes together in about 20 minutes and bakes for about 40 minutes. Therefore from knife to plate you will have an amazing dish in only an hour!

ENJOY!
