Zucchini Casserole with Artichokes is a veggie-packed, savory casserole featuring spiralized zucchini, protein-rich egg whites, Greek yogurt, basil, garlic, spinach, and artichokes, all topped with melty Parmesan for a fresh and healthy take on comfort food.

Ingredients

4 cups spiralized zucchini

¼ tsp salt, plus extra for sprinkling the noodles

¾ cup liquid egg whites (about 6 egg whites)

4 large eggs

¼ cup + 2 tbsp fresh basil, tightly packed, chopped

½ cup sliced roasted red peppers (about 111 g), patted dry

½ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

¼ cup red onion, roughly chopped

1 tbsp + 1 tsp garlic, minced

Generous pinch of black pepper

3 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped and firmly packed

1 (14 oz) can quartered artichoke hearts, drained, patted dry, roughly chopped

1⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese (about 97 g), divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Place spiralized zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with ¼ tsp salt, and let it drain while preparing the filling.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together egg whites, whole eggs, Greek yogurt, garlic, red onion, basil, salt, and pepper. Add spinach, roasted red peppers, and artichoke hearts. Stir in half of the Parmesan cheese.
  4. Squeeze excess moisture from zucchini, then fold it into the filling mixture. Transfer to the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  5. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan evenly over the casserole.
  6. Bake for 30–40 minutes or until the casserole is golden and firm in the center. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
  7. Top with extra fresh basil before serving.

Notes

Ensure zucchini is well-drained to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.

If using shredded zucchini, squeeze out moisture thoroughly before adding to the mixture.

If you want extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeño to the filling.

Feel free to substitute the Greek yogurt with sour cream or cream cheese for a different texture and taste.
