Whether you’re looking to make the most of an abundant zucchini harvest or just want a healthy, flavorful side dish, this casserole is a wonderful addition to your dinner table.
The beauty of this casserole lies in its simplicity. Shredded zucchini is the star ingredient, offering a delicate texture that combines beautifully with eggs, cheese, and breadcrumbs to create a creamy, hearty dish.

The zucchini soaks up the savory flavors from the cheese and seasoning, resulting in a dish that’s flavorful and light yet filling enough to stand on its own.
What makes Shredded Zucchini Casserole even better is its versatility. You can easily customize the flavors by adding herbs like garlic, basil, or thyme, or even throw in a bit of onion or bell peppers for extra depth. The cheese can vary too – try sharp cheddar for a bold flavor or mozzarella for a creamy, melty finish. For a touch of crunch, top the casserole with a sprinkle of Parmesan or a few extra breadcrumbs before baking.
This dish is not only delicious but also relatively light, making it a great choice for those seeking a healthier comfort food. It’s perfect as a side dish for grilled meats, roasted chicken, or even as a vegetarian main course. Plus, it’s easy to prepare ahead of time and reheats well, making it a convenient option for meal prepping or feeding a crowd.

Made this for dinner last night, everyone gobbled it up! Definitely making again!
I dunno, mine turned out mushy last time…maybe I added too much zucchini?
That’s awesome to hear! It’s such a simple yet delicious dish! What did you serve it with?
This was an awesome recipe! My family loved it! 😊
Zucchini is just a sponge for flavors!! 10/10 would recommend. Best veggie!
I tried it but it was too watery, maybe I needed to squeeze the zucchini more?
Just a bunch of green stuff, I don’t like it. Yuck! 🤢
Really don’t see the fuss over zucchini. This dish was just okay for me. 😒
Zucchini? Is that the green one?? My kids won’t eat this! No way! 🤷♂️
Meh. I thought it would be more flavorful. Needs more cheese, I think.
I actually found it quite tasty! Maybe try adding a sprinkle of parmesan on top for extra flavor next time.
More cheese? I think it has plenty already. Just try eating it with a cheesy side dish!
I dont like zucchini much, but this casserole was actually pretty good. Surprised me!
So easy to make, even my kids helped! They had fun shredding the zucchini.
Zucchini casserole? More like a nightmare casserole lol.
Tried this and it was soggy… did I do something wrong? I followed the recipe.
I substituted the zucchini for broccoli and it turned out awesome! Just saying!
Zucchini? Really? I ain’t tryin’ no green squishy stuff. No thank you.
Green squishy stuff? That’s a bit harsh! Zucchini is basically a vegetable superstar! 🙃
I used to think like you, but trust me, zucchini can be so good! You just gotta find the right recipe. Give it a chance!
This turned out great! The flavor is amazing, and my family loved it. Definitely a keeper!
Delicious! I added some spices like paprika and it was 🔥
This sounds delicious! Can’t wait to try it out. Love zucchini!
Looks good, but is it really that easy? My casseroles never turn out right.
Yum! Zucchini’s the best! Let me know how it turns out!
This was a hit at my dinner! Everyone loved it! Will definitely make again.
so easy to prepare! i added some spices and it was great!!!!
I’m glad you enjoyed it! What spices did you add? I’m always looking to improve recipes.
Do I really need to add the eggs? Can it be vegan?
Super easy to make, but I think I added too much garlic. Next time I’ll tone it down a notch.
What a great way to use up all that zucchini from my garden! Yum!
I don’t understand why you’d mix cheese and zucchini. Sounds weird.
I followed the recipe but came out mushy. Maybe I squeezed the zucchini too much? I dunno.
Tried this, and it was soooo good! I added some ground beef for protein. Yummy in my tummy!
I’m not too sure about this. I mean, zucchini? I usually just steam it. Baking it seems weird.
I thought the same at first! But trust me, baking brings out a unique flavor in zucchini. You might love it!
Weird? Nah, just different! I tried it and it’s actually pretty good! Give it a shot!
The casserole was burnt on the edges and gooey in the middle. Not worth it.
I made this and it was just meh…needed more flavor, I guess?
