💡 Pro-Tips for the Perfect Bake
- Prevent Excess Moisture: Zucchini naturally releases water when cooked. To keep your bake perfectly thick and creamy rather than watery, sprinkle a little salt on your raw zucchini slices, let them sit for 10 minutes, and pat them dry with a paper towel before layering! 🥒🧻
- Meal Prep Friendly: You can fully assemble this dish the night before, cover it with foil, and store it in the fridge. When you’re ready for dinner, just pop it straight into the preheated oven and add an extra 5 minutes to the baking time. 🗓️⏰
