    Thinly sliced zucchini and tomatoes, layered and baked with onion & garlic and topped with shredded parmesan. This parmesanzucchini and tomato gratin is such a light and delicious side dish.

    This is one of those recipes that exceeded my expectations. It is not only very easy to put together but it also tastes amazing and is absolutely flavorful. Zucchini and tomatoes go wonderfully together. And the garlic and onion perfectly complete this recipe and add an amazing flavor to the parmesan zucchini and tomato gratin.

    I would give it 5 stars except there was a lot of liquid which had to be drained. What can be done to mitigate that? I didn’t think of putting it back in the oven after draining. The flavors were wonderful and using all ingredients from the garden (except the cheese) is terrific. What to do to avoid the liquid?

      Hi Jani,
      You can use Roma tomatoes that have less liquid than other varieties of tomatoes, and you can also “sweat” the zucchini before baking. Simply, season the zucchini with salt, place them in a colander, and let them “sweat” for 30 minutes. And then pat them dry with a paper towel.

    Hi, just wondering what topping you used for the image that was yellow in color? Was it only Parmesan ?

      It’s just onion & garlic and Parmesan cheese, just as the recipe calls for.
      Hope you enjoy it! 🙂

    Delicious! Thanks for this simple recipe, a great way to use up all those tomatoes and zucchini from the garden this time of year. Made mostly as directed but used a whole onion and added some feta along with the parmesan cheese. So good!
