This Garlic Parmesan Baked Zucchini and Tomatoes recipe is a flavorful and easy side dish that combines fresh vegetables with savory garlic, Italian seasoning, and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Baked until tender and golden, it’s a perfect complement to any meal.

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 pound zucchini (cut into half-moons)
  • 1 pint grape tomatoes (cut in half)
  • 4 garlic cloves (minced)

Seasonings & Oils

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • Pink salt (to taste)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper (to taste)

Cheese & Herbs

  • 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese (shredded)
  • 1/4 cup fresh Italian parsley or basil (chopped)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the vegetables evenly.
  2. Mix the vegetables and seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, halved grape tomatoes, and minced garlic. Drizzle the olive oil over the mixture and sprinkle with Italian seasoning, pink salt, fresh cracked black pepper, and the shredded Parmesan cheese. Toss everything thoroughly to ensure the vegetables are well coated in the seasonings and cheese.
  3. Bake the vegetable mixture: Transfer the coated vegetable mixture into a 9×13 inch casserole dish or spread it evenly on a baking sheet. Place it uncovered into the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, allowing the vegetables to soften and the cheese to melt and develop a light golden color.
  4. Garnish and serve: After baking, remove the dish from the oven and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese and the chopped fresh Italian parsley or basil on top. Serve immediately as a delicious and savory side dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh basil for parsley or vice versa depending on preference.
  • Using grape tomatoes adds sweetness, but cherry tomatoes work as a good alternative.
  • For a crispier texture, spread the vegetables on a baking sheet instead of a casserole dish.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to taste to complement your meal.
  • This dish pairs well with grilled meats or pasta dishes.
