You will need a 10 inch round casserole ready, greased with vegan butter.

How to make Zucchini Casserole

Preheat your oven to 430°F, get your casserole prepared and ready.

Start with a skillet or casserole which is large enough. Melt 2 Tbsp vegan butter and reserve the rest for later.

When hot, add onion and garlic, fry for 2 minutes. Then give the zucchini slices to the pan and fry for 5 minutes more.

Now add coconut milk and nutmeg. Cook all for 2 minutes more on medium heat. Stir in half of the breadcrumbs and half of the vegan parmesan.

Next give remaining vegan butter into a small bowl, mix with breadcrumbs and Italian herbs, remaining vegan parmesan. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Finally transfer zucchini mixture to the prepared casserole and top with remaining breadcrumb mix. Bake for around 20 minutes.

After baking please allow top cool down for around 5 minutes before serving on plates, enjoy.

Storage and serving suggestions

Leftovers stored properly in an airtight container with a lid on top will last 5 days in the fridge.

Pro tip for meal prep: you can make everything ahead, except the breadcrumbs topping. I recommend to give the topping over the casserole just before baking.
