Ingredients

2-3 Zucchini - medium-sized
1 cup parmesan cheese
¼ cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon garlic minced
Salt to taste

Instructions

Wash your zucchini thinly. I used a mandoline for slicing the zucchini. You want to slice the zucchini all the same size for even cooking.
You want to overlap the zucchini so it kind of stacks on each other.
Sprinkle with some of your parmesan cheese. Then you will add another layer of zucchini slices on top, and add more cheese.
Now add your third and final layer of zucchini slices and the rest of the parmesan cheese.
In a skillet, you will add your butter, garlic, and heavy cream into a skillet. Whisk until melted and it is thickening.
Pour the sauce over the zucchini mixture.
Place in an air fryer at 375 degrees or in the oven (same temp), and cook until melted. My casserole took 18 minutes to cook.
Once the zucchini casserole is done then allow it to cool for 5 minutes and then serve.

Notes

You can use summer squash and zucchini, straight summer squash, or just zucchini.

I did 3 layers of zucchini but feel free to do however many layers as you would like.

The heavy cream and butter add richness to the zucchini casserole that you wouldn't get otherwise.

Store your leftover casserole in the fridge in an airtight container. You will find this zucchini bake does not freeze well as it will soften the zucchini quite a bit.
