Prepare Zucchini: Begin by cooking the zucchini in a small amount of water until tender. Once cooked, drain the zucchini and mash it. Set aside for later use.

Sauté Onion and Bell Pepper: In a skillet, sauté the onion and green peppers in 1 tablespoon of butter until they become tender. This will release their flavors and create a delicious base for the bake.

Assemble Bake: Grease a 1-quart casserole dish and pour the zucchini mixture into it, spreading it out evenly.
-
Prepare Topping: In a separate bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter. Mix until the breadcrumbs are coated with the butter and cheese.
-
Add Topping: Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the zucchini mixture in the casserole dish. This will create a crunchy, flavorful topping that adds texture to the dish.
-
Bake: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the assembled casserole in the oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the mixture is set.
-
