Ingredients
- 2 pounds zucchini ends trimmed, halved crosswise, and sliced lengthwise into 1/4 inch slices
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes (undrained)
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 3/4 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- fresh parsley minced, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F. Brush a large sheet pan and a 9x13-inch baking dish with a little olive oil.
- Arrange the zucchini slices in a single layer on the sheet pan. Season with salt and black pepper, then brush with olive oil. Bake for 15 minutes until the zucchini is soft and pliable. Remove from the oven but keep the oven on.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add crushed tomatoes, dried basil, and dried oregano. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Spread about 1/2 cup of the tomato sauce on the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Layer with zucchini slices, then sprinkle with 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese and 1/4 cup of mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers until all ingredients are used, ending with a layer of cheese on top.
- Bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. For a golden top, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
