Notes
- Spices/Herbs: Feel free to ramp up the flavor of the zucchini potato bake with extra herbs and spices. Smoked paprika, chili/cayenne powder or chili flakes, oregano, dried rosemary, etc. You can even make versions like Italian zucchini and potato casserole with garlic, rosemary, oregano, etc.
- Other vegetables: There are several vegetables you can add-just be aware of the size you chop them and their baking time. Mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, eggplant, kale (holds up better than spinach), cauliflower, corn, etc.
- Protein: Add extra protein with the addition of legumes (like beans or chickpeas) or even small chunks of tofu or seitan.
- Cream: For more of a zucchini and potato gratin, you can add a dairy-free cream (like coconut cream) to the mixture (1 ½-2 cups cream). If doing so, add the breadcrumbs to the top along with some optional, dairy-free cheese. Alternatively, you could make a creamy sauce like this vegan scalloped potatoes.
