This Zucchini Bake Recipe is made with sliced zucchini, mushrooms, and onions. It is an easy side dish for your evening meal. this low carb zucchini recipe is also keto-friendly and one of the easiest recipes you can make for your dinner table.

Side dish recipes can sometimes be hard to come up with. For the most part, they are veggies, and oftentimes, if you are feeding picky eaters like I am, you may wonder why bother with a veggie side dish at all. However, this Zucchini Bake turned out delicious and my picky eater did not complain.

When Zucchini is overflowing

When Zucchini is in season, there is no end of the need for recipes to make with it. You either love zucchini or hate it. There can be too much zucchini in your garden that your scrambling for recipes to make. Some of our favorite zucchini recipes are Chocolate Zucchini Cake, Chocolate Zucchini Bread, or if your low carb, these Low Carb Zucchini Biscuits or Cashew Breaded Zucchini Chips.

I have been in both positions. When you don't have a garden of your own, unless you have friendly neighbors who share, then your bound to have to buy what you eat. You know the joke about your neighbor sneaking zucchini onto the back porch? Well, there were a few years I wish I had a neighbor who would do just that!

I'm pretty spoiled. I grew up with gardens and always had it available to me. So, I always was looking for ways to eat it so we weren't wasting it. That is how this Zucchini Bake recipe came into the picture.

What you need to make this recipe

This is a very simple recipe. It is easy to make and easy to eat! There are minimal ingredients and little effort needed to put forth to make this zucchini bake.

Zucchini: fresh is best. Zucchini is almost always available in the grocery store year-round. However, if its summer, and you have a garden full like I do, then you will be happy to have found this recipe!

Mushrooms: I always buy baby portobellos, presliced. Cremini mushrooms will work well also.

Onions: I used white, but red onion will work also.

Olive Oil: I always use extra virgin olive oil.

Cheddar Cheese: The brick is your best bet. Then shred it yourself. I don't like pre-shredded cheese because it has a starch coating that you won't get with a brick.

1 quart casserole dish: This is my favorite one. Ceramic or glass baking dishes work best.
