    Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini

    Published: Dec 8, 2021, Last Modified: Oct 18, 2022 by Janessa.

    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    This Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini is the recipe to get zucchini skeptics to eat their vegetables. With flavors that remind me of a tomato bruschetta, they might even reach for a second helping! With just a few simple ingredients and 10 minutes of prep, it is a great recipe to add to your rotation.

    Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini - The Nessy Kitchen

    The Ingredients

    • Zucchini- If you want to make this with a larger, late season zucchini, I recommend peeling it and removing the seeds.
    • Tomatoes- I typically use whole cherry or grape tomatoes for this recipe. If they are on the large side, cut them in half. You can also use a larger type of tomato- just cut it into ¾ inch dice or wedges.
    • Garlic
    • Parsley- If you have fresh on hand, definitely use that! You will need 2 tablespoon finely chopped.
    • Basil- Use 2 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh basil if you have it on hand.
    • Sea Salt
    • Black Pepper
    • Olive Oil
    • Parmesan- This can be left out. Or for extra decadence, double the amount of parmesan and mix half of it into the dish with herbs and garlic and use the other half for topping.

    The Method

    1. Combine all ingredients in a baking dish.
    2. Bake for 20 minutes.
    3. Stir and sprinkle parmesan on top if using.
    4. Bake for an additional 10-15 minutes.
    5. Serve.

    Leftover Storage

    Store leftover Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven at 350 F for 10-15 minutes until heated through. I don't recommend freezing as it will alter the texture of the zucchini.

    Make Ahead

    This can be assembled up to 1 day in advance prior to baking. Prepare, cover and place in the refrigerator and bake when ready.

    How to Serve Baked Herb Tomato Zucchini

    This is a great side dish with a variety of meals! Try it with Lemon Garlic Herb Cod and Lemon Herb Rice. Or it would be a good way to add some vegetables alongside Simple Barbecued Burgers.

      So delicious and healthy even my family who are not zucchini fans loved it. The best part was I got to use my own home grown zucchini and cherry tomatoes to make it. I definitely will make this again . Thank you for this simple to follow and yummy recipe 😋

      Mmmmmm. There is no other word for this. The juice it makes in the casserole is so good. I kept it to have on potatoes the next time I make them. Almost as good as gravy. Great way to use zucchini
