Fresh zucchini, yellow squash, shredded cheese, and a little seasoning are the basic ingredients used in this Simple Cheesy Zucchini and Yellow Squash Casserole. This super-easy side dish recipe is topped with a golden, crisp panko crumb topping.
If you are not using shredded cheese already, shred some now. You will need 4 - 6 ounces, depending on your taste.
Slice the squash into ½" rounds. Spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Add the zucchini and yellow squash to the casserole dish and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt, black pepper, and garlic seasoning. Toss together until the squash is coated well with the olive oil and seasoning.
Place the squash mixture in the oven and bake for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven.
Top the partially cooked squash with shredded cheese and panko crumbs. Return the squash casserole to the oven and continue to bake until the cheese is melted and the topping is golden brown. About 8 to 10 minutes.
Notes
Substitutions
If you prefer, use all zucchini or all yellow squash.
Instead of garlic seasoning, try Italian Seasoning.
Use your favorite type of cheese. I know kids usually prefer cheddar cheese. Adding a little bit of Parmesan cheese would be great too!
