Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup baking mix
  • 1/2 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Wet Ingredients

  • 4 large eggs, slightly beaten
  • 1/2 cup canola oil

Vegetables

  • 3 cups diced zucchini
  • 1 large chopped onion

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the baking mix with Parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Use a whisk or fork to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the slightly beaten eggs and canola oil. Mix until the eggs and oil are fully incorporated, creating a smooth and slightly thick batter.
  3. Incorporate the Vegetables: Gently stir in the diced zucchini and chopped onion into the batter. Continue mixing until the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout, ensuring every bite is full of flavor and texture.
  4. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a 1-1/2-quart baking dish to prevent sticking. Pour the combined mixture into the prepared dish, spreading it out evenly with a spatula for uniform cooking.
  5. Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in an oven preheated to 375°F (190°C) and bake uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Once baked, allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • You can substitute the baking mix with self-rising flour plus a pinch of baking powder if preferred.
  • For a lower-fat option, reduce the canola oil or replace with applesauce, though texture may vary slightly.
  • Fresh dill can be used instead of dried; use about 3 tablespoons fresh dill.
  • Ensure the zucchini is diced evenly so the casserole cooks uniformly.
  • Letting the casserole cool slightly before serving helps it set and makes slicing easier.
