Directions

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Coat an 8x8 square baking dish with cooking spray. Set aside.

  2. Place zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or doubled up paper towel and squeeze moisture out of the zucchini (as much as possible).

  3. Mix zucchini, egg, and 1/2 ounce of mozzarella cheese. Press tightly into the baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.

  4. While zucchini is baking, mix tomato sauce, garlic and oregano. Set aside.

  5. Add cooking spray to a sauté pan over medium heat. Lightly sauté mushrooms, green peppers, and tomatoes.

  6. After zucchini is baked, spread tomato sauce on top of zucchini. Add sautéed vegetables and top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheeses.

  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cheese is brown and bubbly. Let cool, then cut into 6 equal pieces and serve.

    I don't know how much water is enough to get out of the zucchini. But i squeezed out water in double paper towels three times. (Also peeled the zucchini first.) I also added a heck of a lot more mozzarella cheese than the left over 1.5 ounces at the end... 4 ounces. We also added sauteed onions and did not saute the tomato. In the end, it was really tasty. To tell the truth, I'm over all of the bread in my life. I loved the idea of using that throw-away layer to provide nutrition instead of empty bland carbs and calories.
