Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh basil

  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano

  • 3 large zucchini, sliced

  • 8 egg whites, divided

  • 3 cups ricotta cheese

  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

  • 3 cups tomato sauce

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a medium baking sheet.

  2. Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, basil, and oregano together in a medium shallow bowl. Set aside 2/3 cup for the topping.

  3. Whisk 2 egg whites in a small bowl. Dip zucchini slices into egg whites, then press into bread crumb mixture to coat both sides. Arrange coated slices on the prepared baking sheet.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven; leave the oven on.

  5. Mix ricotta, parsley, and remaining 6 egg whites together in a bowl. Spread 1/2 of the tomato sauce over the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish. Layer with 1/2 of the zucchini slices, 1/2 of the ricotta mixture, and 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers once more, then top with remaining bread crumb mixture.

  6. Bake for 45 minutes. Serve warm.
