Ingredients The primary ingredients are young zucchini, sliced tomatoes, and often a topping of cheese (like mozzarella, cheddar, or parmesan) and/or a sour cream mixture with garlic and smoked paprika.

  • Preparation
    1. The zucchini are typically sliced lengthwise from just below the stem to the end, ensuring the base remains intact.
    2. Thin slices of tomatoes (and sometimes garlic or onions) are placed in between the fanned slices.
    3. The assembled zucchini are arranged in a baking dish that has been lightly coated with oil or cooking spray.
    4. Seasonings such as salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, herbs, and olive oil are added.
    5. A cheese mixture or sour cream mixture is often sprinkled or spread over the top before baking.
  • Baking The dish is baked in a preheated oven, typically around 350°F (175°C) to 400°F (200°C), for about 25 to 45 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the top is golden and bubbly.
