WW ZUCCHINI BAKE

Ingredients:

  • 4 medium zucchinis, sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup (100g) reduced-fat shredded cheddar cheese (check WW SmartPoints for the specific brand)
  • 1/2 cup (60g) reduced-fat shredded mozzarella cheese (check WW SmartPoints for the specific brand)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) fat-free sour cream
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) plain non-fat Greek yogurt
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large non-stick skillet, sauté the chopped onion and diced red bell pepper over medium heat until they are softened and lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes. Set them aside.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the fat-free sour cream, plain non-fat Greek yogurt, minced garlic, dried oregano, dried basil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Add the sliced zucchini rounds to the bowl with the sour cream mixture. Toss until the zucchini is evenly coated.
  5. In a 9×13-inch baking dish, spread half of the zucchini mixture.
  6. Sprinkle half of the sautéed onion and red pepper mixture over the zucchini.
  7. Sprinkle half of the reduced-fat cheddar cheese and half of the reduced-fat mozzarella cheese on top.
  8. Repeat the layers: zucchini, onion and pepper mixture, and cheeses.
  9. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  10. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the zucchini is tender and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  11. Let the loaded zucchini bake cool for a few minutes before serving. You can garnish it with fresh herbs like chopped parsley or chives, if desired.

This loaded zucchini bake is a satisfying and flavorful side dish. Remember to calculate the WW SmartPoints based on the specific ingredients you use and the portion size you serve. Enjoy!
