Zucchini Cornbread Casserole

🧅 Step 4: Build the Flavor Base

To the wet mixture, add:

• Grated zucchini
• Corn kernels
• Chopped onion
• Garlic

Stir gently to distribute all ingredients evenly.

🧀 Step 5: Bring It All Together

Gradually pour the wet mixture into the bowl of dry ingredients. Stir until just combined—do not overmix, as this can make the casserole dense.

Fold in the shredded cheese if you’re using it.

🔥 Step 6: Prepare the Baking Dish

• Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F)
• Lightly grease a baking dish (around 9×9 inches or similar)

Pour the batter into the dish and spread it evenly.

⏲️ Step 7: Bake to Perfection

Place the dish in the oven and bake for 35–45 minutes, or until:

• The top is golden brown
• A toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean

🌿 Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let the casserole cool for about 10–15 minutes before slicing. This helps it set properly and makes serving easier.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

Zucchini Cornbread Casserole pairs wonderfully with:

💡 Tips for the Best Results

• Add spice: A pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños adds a nice kick.
