List of Ingredients
Garden-Fresh Vegetable and Rice Casserole
2 tsp olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green or red pepper, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 zucchini, shredded with skins on
2 cups carrots, shredded
1 tsp salt
1 T fresh dill, chopped
1 cup cooked rice
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, plus 2 T
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/4 cup bread crumbs
2 eggs, slightly beaten
Recipe
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Heat olive oil in a large saute pan over medium high heat.
Add chopped onion and peppers and saute until soft, about 5 minutes.
Add garlic and saute 1 minute.
Add shredded carrots, zucchini and salt and cook until soft, about 5 more minutes.
Turn off the heat and cool.
In a separate bowl, mix together dill, rice, cherry tomatoes, 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, cheddar cheese, and bread crumbs.
Add cooled vegetables and mix carefully.
Add beaten eggs just until combined.
Spread mixture into a glass baking dish covered in cooking spray - I use a 10×10 square, but an 8 1/2 x11 would work as well.
Sprinkle the remaining 2 T of parmesan cheese over the top.
Bake until bubbly for 30-45 minutes.
Broil for the last couple minutes until nicely browned on top.
