Join the #MeatlessMonday link up each week here and with Tina Muir for a collection of the best veggie recipes we can find. My recipe, Zucchini Broccoli casserole, has been a favorite family holiday side dish for years and I hope you enjoy it as well. (Note you can easily make this Gluten Free by subbing out the Panko for a GF “bread crumb”.)

It was a great combo-hope you enjoy! So glad to check yours out too!
Ooooh love the idea of making it into a casserole! This would definitely satisfy my other half with the cheese. Think we would substitute sour cream for greek yogurt though 🙂

You probably could sub it out with yogurt but I haven’t tried that yet. let me know if he likes it.
I can be weird about cassaroles, because you know that I like to know what is in my food, and they make it difficult, but this I could definitely get on board with. I would probably use greek yogurt rather than sour cream, but I love the ingredients.

Thanks and you could definitely try that. It’s an old family recipe so I haven’t tried it yet. Let me know how it goes.
Love that you add siracha to this! Sounds like the perfect dish served with my morning eggs! Delicious!

Ooh didn’t think of eating it for breakfast but why not?! I love siracha 🙂
This looks delicious! I just told my husband a couple days ago I was looking for a healthy broccoli casserole recipe to add to our meal rotation – thanks for sharing!!
Awesome! Glad you like it 🙂
I love casseroles! I haven’t made one in a while but this looks delish! I could definitely modify it to be gluten free and I bet my kiddos would love it too (they are huge broccoli fans) 🙂 Pinnng this for later!

Congrats on getting your kids to eat broccoli! It is well disguised in here too. Hope you like it
I look forward to your Monday posts! I do a recipe very similar to this but I use broccoli and chopped spinach 🙂 Have a great week!

Thanks! That would be a great combo as well.
This just officially made it on my ‘must make this week’ list.
Admittedly, I can sometimes go overboard–sometimes planning dinners for my family 1-2 weeks in advance. Looks like I will have to make some room for this as part of a dinner this week…

Great idea, Deborah! I’m with Tina on subbing for Greek yogurt … love getting in my veggies any way I can!

Broccoli casserole is one of my favorite side dishes. I have never had it with zucchini. I will have to try it next time.
They do go well together-hope you give it a try
Yes thank you for reminding me! I suck at remembering, but it’s on my calendar now so thank you. And my link may be a cookie, but it IS meatless so counts right? lol This casserole looks so good! I’m obsessed with zucchini right now so this will be perfect to make later this week!

Love this idea! Another awesome meatless monday recipe! i’ve never thought to combine zucchini and broccoli- can’t wait to try this one!
They go really well together-great texture. Hope you give it a try
This looks delicious!!!! YUM 🙂 I bet the panko crumbs make it nice and crispy on top which I LOVE!
They do make it nice and crunchy! Thanks for stopping by 🙂
Looks delicious! I think my 4 yr old, who loves to eat trees and cheese, will love this. I am going to downsize the recipe by half and see what she thinks.

Funny I never bake sweet stuff with zucchini! Hope you like it
LOOKS AWESOME!!! I mostly eat like a vegan–so new ideas with veggies is always welcome! Saved it and I’m a gonna try it!

Great so glad to hear. I’m a vegetarian-gotta have my cheese!
I am all about all things zucchini right now:) probably because I have more than I could ever possibly use:) Broccoli I could do without, I love it fresh, but can’t eat it cooked for some reason. I know I am totally weird.
Kristy @Runaway Bridal Planner recently posted…Verdict’s and Vacations gone…
We all have our unique qualities. I will see what I can come up for next week sans broccoli 🙂
Oh this brings back Birthday memories for me! My mom always made us our favorite meal for our birthday and I always wanted broccoli bake, but this version is much healthier! Maybe I can get Quinn to love this stuff as much as I do!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like the dish. Enjoyed reading about you too. Have a great day!
Thank you for this recipe! I like that you also put the gluten-free option because I am trying this kind of lifestyle 😉 I’ve already visited some gluten-free restaurants here in Toronto to get some inspiration. I must tell you that the meals can be really delicious, which was a big surprise for me 🙂 Do you have a lot of these restaurants in your city too? To be honest, I have been obsessed with zucchini for about 1 year and I like everything with it. My boyfriend sometimes gets mad that zucchini is almost in every food but eventually, it tastes great when you combine it with good spices. I like your combination with broccoli! I haven’t tried that yet so maybe even my boyfriend will be happy that something different will be on the table 😀 Do you have any ingredient that you like very much?
Glad you like the recipe-I do try to add GF options when possible. Thanks for stopping by and hope to see you again
This looks so yummy! I bet you could even sub greek yogurt for the sour cream. I have a ton of veggies from the garden so this would be great to make! I love having sides in the fridge for easy sides to meals. Cook once, eat for days!
Leigha @ The Yooper Girl recently posted…Roasted Tomato Blender Soup
