For a healthy side dish that even the kids can enjoy – a mean, green casserole! Who can resist their veggies when they are coated in layers of ricotta and cheddar cheeses? Simply seasoned and baked, it’s any easy side that you can throw in the oven and forget about until dinner time!

Ingredients

  • 8 ounce broccoli, raw
  • 8 ounce zucchini
  • 1 ounce spinach
  • ½ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup, shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

  1. Preheat an oven to 350 degrees and spray a 9×13 glass baking dish with pan spray. Chop your broccoli, zucchini, and spinach. Combine the veggies in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients except for the cheddar. When chopping the veggies, keep them to 1 or 2-bite sized pieces.
  2. Spread the mixture in your prepared baking dish. Cover the top of the casserole with the cheddar cheese, making sure it spreads to all corners and edges. Bake the dish for 30 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden.
  3. Slice into 6 portions for serving while the cheese is still hot. Enjoy!
