Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a casserole dish with olive oil and set it aside.
In a skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
In a large bowl, combine the chopped zucchini rounds, chopped tomatoes, crumbled bacon, chopped fresh herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Transfer the zucchini mixture into the greased casserole dish, spreading it out evenly. Sprinkle with cheese.
Place the casserole dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese has melted and turned golden brown.
Once cooked, remove the loaded zucchini bake from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the loaded zucchini bake as a side dish or as a main course. It pairs well with a fresh salad or crusty bread.
I await your comments! Enjoy!
