    Low Carb Zucchini Casserole

    We LOVE keto zucchini recipes and this healthy zucchini casserole is one of our favorites.

    This cheesy keto zucchini casserole is crispy on the outside, and creamy and cheesy on the inside. Naturally, zucchini casseroles can be made with any type of cheese as long as it’s combined with a liquid element.

    In this casserole we used sour cream, feta and mozzarella cheese. The sour cream provides a great texture and tang while the feta cheese turns rich and buttery in the oven. Mozzarella was added as it pairs well with basically anything and melts really well into this mouth-watering casserole dish.

    • Sour cream
    • Cheese

    How To Make Baked Zucchini Casserole

    Step 1

    Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius) and grease a baking dish with butter.

    Step 2

    Patting zucchini slices dry with a cloth after using salt to draw out excess water

    Cut the zucchini into ¼ inch thick slices, place them in a strainer and season them with salt. Set aside while you follow the next steps as the salt extracts excess water.

    Step 3

    A red onion roughly sliced to add to the zucchini casserole

    Roughly slice the onion and heat butter in a saucepan over a medium high heat. Sauté the onion for 5 minutes, then add the minced garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for another minute until fragrant and then pour in the sour cream.

    Simmer for another 2-3 minutes over medium heat and then turn off the heat. Add the feta and mozzarella cheese and stir them into the mixture.

    Step 4

    Zucchini slices placed in a layer in a greased baking dish

    Pat the zucchini slices dry with a paper towel or cloth. Lay the zucchini slices into the greased baking dish.

    A feta, mozzarella, red onion, sour cream and garlic sauce poured over sliced zucchini ready to bake

    Next, pour over the cheesy sauce mixture.

    Step 5

    A delicious creamy zucchini casserole made with fresh zucchini, mozzarella and feta

    Bake the zucchini casserole for around 15 to 20 minutes in the preheated oven until golden brown. Slice and serve hot directly from the oven.

    Storage Instructions

    In the fridge: Any leftover keto zucchini casserole can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Simply reheat it in the oven or microwave when you're ready to eat it.

    Do not freeze: Unfortunately, you cannot freeze a zucchini casserole because of the high water content.
