Recipe Notes
- Try this recipe with yellow crookneck squash.
Here's how to make it:
- Remove as much water as you can with paper towels from the zucchini. (Do not skip this step!)
- Spray the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish. Sprinkle with 1/2 tablespoon of the Parmesan cheese (this helps keep the bottom dry).
- Spread the zucchini in an even layer on top.
- Combine the egg whites, cottage cheese, cheese wedges, salt and almond milk in a blender. Blend until smooth. Pour it over the zucchini. Top with the remaining Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in a preheated 350-degree F oven for about 35 to 45 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
