Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a baking dish with olive oil and set aside.

  2. In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and garlic, sautéing until they turn translucent and fragrant.

  3. Layer half of the zucchini slices in the bottom of the greased baking dish, slightly overlapping them. Sprinkle with half of the sautéed onion and garlic mixture.

  4. Arrange half of the tomato slices on top of the zucchini, season with salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme. Drizzle with a tablespoon of olive oil.

  5. Repeat the layers with the remaining zucchini, onion, garlic, and tomatoes, seasoning each layer with salt, pepper, herbs, and olive oil.

  6. Cover the casserole dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.

  7. After 30 minutes, remove the foil and sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the casserole. Return it to the oven and bake, uncovered, for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the vegetables are tender.

  8. Once done, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
