Low Carb Zucchini Casserole Ingredients
– Zucchini: Also know as courgette, this is a low carb vegetable that is high in water content.
– Cheese: Choose your favorite cheese for this recipe. I like to use cheddar and mozzarella, but you can use any type that you like.
– Onion: This is a low carb vegetable that adds lots flavor to the casserole.
– Garlic: Garlic is a flavorful addition to this recipe. I like to use fresh minced garlic, but you can use garlic powder if you prefer.
– Butter: I like to use salted butter in this recipe, but you can use olive oil if you prefer.
– Heavy cream: This is a high-fat, low carb ingredient that adds richness to the casserole.
– Cream cheese: I use the full fat version of cream cheese in this recipe. I find it makes this casserole creamier, thicker and blasting with flavors.
– Salt and pepper: As you may know by now, i love using either Sea salt or Himalayan salt. As for the pepper freshly ground pepper is always best.
After trying zucchini fritters I was immediately in love with zucchini.
I also love cheesy vegetable casseroles because they’re easy to make and can be made ahead of time and taste delicious.
Since zucchinis contain lots of water, it’s important to salt them well.
This will help to bring out the flavor of the zucchini and prevent it from becoming watery.
Salt the zucchinis and let them sit for about 10-20 minutes. This will help to draw out the water.
If you skip this step, your casserole may be watery from the zucchinis.
This is a great keto dinner idea to try for busy weekdays.
Note: Use salt sparingly since we salted the zucchinis. You may not need any salt if you do this.
