Zucchini Corn Bake
On the never-ending quest to find easy and healthy summer recipes that don’t require me to heat up my oven, I present to you… the Zucchini Corn Bake.
This dish comes together in less than 30 minutes, yet is filled with flavor and some of the best vegetables summer has to offer- Zucchini fresh corn! Mix in some quinoa for some extra nutrition and Keilbasa sausage (if you’ve got a carnivorous husband like mine), and you’ve got yourself a perfect weeknight meal!
This dish is also Gluten and dairy free (if you skip the Feta cheese), so it’s allergen friendly! I hope this dish makes it onto your table soon, and if it does, let me know by dropping a comment below.
