Loaded Zucchini Bake

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Place the sliced zucchinis in a large bowl. Season them with salt and pepper and toss to coat.
3. In a separate bowl, mix together the sour cream, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, and dried thyme.
4. Add half of the shredded cheddar cheese to the sour cream mixture and stir to combine.
5. Layer half of the sliced zucchinis in the bottom of the greased baking dish.
6. Spread half of the sour cream and cheese mixture over the zucchinis.
7. Sprinkle half of the diced bacon and chopped green onions over the sour cream layer.
8. Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchinis, sour cream mixture, bacon, and green onions.
9. Top the casserole with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
10. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes.
11. Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the zucchinis are tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly, with a golden brown top.
12. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
13. Serve the Loaded Zucchini Bake as a side dish or even as a main course. It’s a delicious way to enjoy the flavors of loaded potatoes with a healthier twist.
