Ingredients
  

4 medium zucchinis, thinly sliced into rounds

2 large ripe tomatoes, diced into bite-sized pieces

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1 teaspoon dried basil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional for heat)

3 tablespoons olive oil

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking.

    Prepare the Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced zucchinis, diced tomatoes, minced garlic, and finely chopped onion. Drizzle the olive oil over the vegetables and season generously with salt, black pepper, oregano, basil, and optional red pepper flakes for a touch of spice. Toss everything together until all the vegetables are evenly coated in the olive oil and seasonings.

      Layer the Veggies: Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with a little olive oil or cooking spray. Begin layering by placing half of the zucchini and tomato mixture on the bottom of the dish. Evenly sprinkle half of the crumbled feta cheese over this layer.

        Create Another Layer: Add the remaining zucchini and tomato mixture on top of the first layer, followed by the rest of the crumbled feta cheese. Finish by generously topping with the shredded mozzarella cheese to create a delicious, melty last layer.

          Bake: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to keep moisture in, and bake in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, carefully remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown on top.

            Garnish and Serve: Once baked, remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes to set. Just before serving, garnish with fresh basil leaves for a vibrant touch. Enjoy your warm Zesty Zucchini Tomato Feta Bake as a flavorful side dish or a delightful main course!
