Ingredients
See printable recipe card below for all ingredients, specific measurements, and complete instructions.
- Zucchini, Yellow Squash and Tomatoes - Wash and slice your vegetables evenly.

- Olive Oil - I recommend using Extra Virgin Olive Oil.
- Shredded Parmesan Cheese - Use freshly grated Parmesan Cheese.
How To Make Squash, Zucchini and Tomato Casserole
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray a square baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Lay sliced vegetables on a flat surface.
- Mix dry seasonings together and sprinkle over vegetables.
- Stack vegetables, alternating zucchini, yellow squash, and tomato, and stand in the baking dish creating three to four rows.
- Drizzle olive oil over the vegetables and top with Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 30 to 45 minutes depending on desired tenderness.
How To Store Leftovers
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. I don't recommend freezing this dish.
Substitutions and Variations
- Cheese: You can use mozzarella cheese instead of Parmesan cheese.
- Bread Crumbs: Add a panko breadcrumb topping or for a little crunch you could add a buttery Ritz cracker topping.
- Vegetables: Don't like squash? No problem you can leave that out and only include the zucchini and tomatoes.

There is no need to peel the squash, zucchini or tomatoes for this recipe.

Hi Rebecca! Thanks for commenting and I'm glad you liked it. A friend always shares her garden abundance with us and this is one of the first recipes we make and I usually make an extra one for her.

I made this with Italian seasoning,salt,freshly ground pepper,minced garlic and I grated mozzarella cheese instead of parmesan. It turned out fantastic! Next time, I'm going to crumble up some Ritz crackers for topping. Thanks for the recipe!

@Melissa Tyrrell, I'm making this now and that's what I did. I added the minced garlic on top of all the veggies then the Ritz crackers, I used honey wheat and then mozzarella over that then a few more crackers!! It's starting to smell amazing!!!

It would be good to add some bread crumbs and brown it off a little in the last 10 minutes. The parmesan alone was a little whimpy. I would make it a bit "au-gratin". I will try that next time with some of the spices in the topping.
