Cheesy Zucchini Gratin is not only low carb, but it is insanely delicious and loaded with garlic and the most heavenly cheesy cream sauce!
I am so excited to introduce you all to one of THE BEST recipes you will ever try!
I love zucchini and this my lovely foodie friends, is the best way to eat it!
It takes under 20 minutes to make and results in the cheesiest, creamiest side dish your family will go crazy over! (even the kids!)
Zucchini can be the star of any dish if you use it the right way!
It makes the perfect low carb side dish or could even be turned into an entire meal by adding in a protein like chicken!
I have used zucchini and spiralized it to replace pasta when I was really on my no carb diet lol but in my opinion, the best way to use it is in a side dish.
Another great low carb side dish that even the kids love to eat! its THAT good!
I used a mix of mozzarella cheese and asiago but I have also used fontina and provolone which are also amazing choices!
Even if you dont normally like zucchini, I promise you will love it after trying this recipe!
