Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for baking.
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Slice the zucchini into thin, even rounds or half-moons, depending on your preference.
- Place the zucchini slices into a large pot.
- Dissolve the chicken broth cube in 1 cup of hot water, then pour it over the zucchini.
- Add 1 tsp of salt to the zucchini.
- Cook the zucchini over medium heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy.
- Once the zucchini is tender, drain any excess liquid from the pot. This helps to avoid a soggy bake.
- Transfer the drained zucchini into a medium-sized baking dish, spreading them out evenly.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese evenly over the zucchini.
- Then, evenly sprinkle the 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese on top of the cheddar.
- Place the baking dish in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
- Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, opt for aged cheddar cheese.
- Consider adding a sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top for a crispy texture.
- Experiment with additional herbs such as thyme or basil to enhance the flavor profile.
- Slice zucchini evenly to ensure they cook uniformly.
- Allow the bake to rest for a few minutes after taking it out of the oven to let it set for easier serving.
