Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 clove garlic, grated

  • 2 zucchini, grated

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • ½ cup shredded Mexican cheese blend (such as Great Value Fiesta Blend), or more to taste

  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

  1. Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Grease an 8-inch baking pan.

  2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add zucchini, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Increase heat to medium; cook and stir until zucchini is almost soft, about 7 minutes. Drain excess liquid.

  3. Transfer zucchini mixture to the prepared baking pan; sprinkle Mexican cheese blend and Parmesan over zucchini.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until cheeses are melted and start to turn brown, about 7 minutes.

Cook's Notes:

Please play with the ingredient quantities to your taste! I usually eyeball ingredients when I cook and do a lot of "sprinkling," "covering," and "to taste."

My little ones do best with pasta they can easily pick up with a fork or spoon, so for the kiddos, try serving mini wheels, mini ziti, or other small shapes that make mealtime a success!
