Zucchini Patties With Marinara Sauce Food

CHEESY ZUCCHINI CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Spray a square 2-quart baking dish with olive oil spray.
• Slice the unpeeled zucchinis into 1/2-inch thick slices. Sprinkle them with salt. Place them in a colander and allow them to drain at room temperature for 30 minutes. This step helps prevent a watery casserole.
• Transfer the drained zucchini to a large bowl. Add the marinara sauce, black pepper, dried oregano, garlic powder, and 1 cup mozzarella. Mix everything together.
• Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle it with the remaining mozzarella and with the Parmesan. Bake, uncovered, until the cheese is bubbly and browned, about 30 minutes.
