This Indulgent Baked Zucchini Parmesan is a family favorite in my house! I remember my Mom making this dish for us every Sunday when I was a kid. I’m sure that’s why I love it so much. The combination of the crispy cheese, the flavorful tomato sauce, and the tender zucchini slices is just perfect. Plus, it’s so easy to make!
My Mom used to make it with a lot of cheese and a lot of tomato sauce, but I like to keep it a bit lighter. I use a mix of mozzarella and Parmesan, and I reduce the amount of sauce. That way, the zucchini really takes center stage. It’s still indulgent, but not too heavy.
This Indulgent Baked Zucchini Parmesan is the perfect dish for a Sunday dinner. Everyone in my family loves it, and I’m sure yours will too!
Variations: You can also add other vegetables to this dish, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or onions. For a meatier version, you can add cooked sausage or ground beef.
Tip: To make sure the cheese gets nice and crispy, top the dish with extra grated Parmesan cheese before baking.
