"If you need to feed a large group of people, old-school casseroles are the dish you should make for your next party or as part of your meal prep to save a portion. Casseroles are ideal for using up leftovers before they go bad, preventing food waste, and experimenting with a variety of different tastes, textures, and ingredients. Add a generous portion of zucchini to your next casserole to stretch your favorite recipes with even more nutritional value and great flavor."
"Zucchini has various health benefits, which include nutrients such as potassium, magnesium, and vitamins K, A, and B6. It is also high in antioxidants, and its water content can help aid digestion. When added to a casserole, the melty and tender cooked vegetable also helps to vary the consistency of the filling and complement the other ingredients present. Whether preparing a luscious bake using just sliced or cubed zucchini, breadcrumbs, and cheese, you can easily make a nutritious casserole that is sure to satisfy."
Casseroles efficiently feed large groups, allow easy meal prep, and freeze well for later. They provide a way to use leftovers and reduce food waste while combining diverse tastes, textures, and ingredients. Zucchini adds potassium, magnesium, vitamins K, A, and B6, antioxidants, and high water content that supports digestion. Cooked zucchini becomes melty and tender, enhancing filling consistency and complementing other components. Simple preparations include zucchini gratin with breadcrumbs and cheese, or vegetable bakes like ratatouille casseroles with eggplant, peppers, and chickpeas. Pairing zucchini with lean proteins such as poultry or fish creates lower-carbohydrate, higher-protein, and fiber-rich casseroles.
