Ingredients
 

  • 2 large zucchini, 16-20 thin slices
  • 1 pound Italian sausage, browned and greased drained
  • 1 1/4 cup marinara, low carb if keto
  • 1 8 ounce package fresh mozzarella, sliced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Grated parmesan, salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

Instructions
 

  • Thinly slice the zucchini using a mandoline slicer (tips in post)). Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium heat and lightly spray the cooking surface with oil and grill the zucchini 1-2 minutes on each side until they have begun to brown and there is very little steam coming off the zucchini. 
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the grilled zucchini in a greased 11x7 baking dish. Top the zucchini with cooked Italian sausage, marinara and sliced fresh mozzarella. 
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly. Top the casserole with parmesan, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, salt and pepper to taste. 
  • Allow the casserole to sit 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to reabsorb some of the liquid.
