I often make this Healthy Zucchini & Summer Squash Casserole when I have a lot of veggies hanging around in the crisper drawer and I am looking for something light and healthy. We also try to have a couple of meat free days per week and this recipe is a perfect substitute.
To make this squash casserole couldn’t be easier. Start by slicing the zucchini and squash. Sprinkle them with salt and place them in a baking dish. Prepare a Parmesan cheese and panko crumb topping to scatter over the vegetables. Bake the casserole in oven until the crumb topping is golden and crispy. Enjoy!
