Ingredients
  

  • Zucchini Au Gratin ingredients:
  • 2 medium or 3 small zucchini (about 16 ounces, sliced very thin)
  • 1 Tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 fresh large basil leaves, chopped
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 oz 2% reduced fat shredded mozzarella or Italian blend cheese
  • 2 Tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup whole grain seasoned bread crumbs
  • optional 1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • Tofu Panko Parmesan ingredients:
  • 14 oz package firm tofu
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 3/4 cup marinara sauce, preferably low sodium
  • 1/2 cup 2% shredded mozzarella cheese
  • nonstick cooking spray

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  • Line a sheet pan with nonstick foil, or regular foil sprayed with nonstick spray.
  • In a large bowl, combine olive oil and zucchini, working through with your hands to make sure oil is evenly distributed.
  • Add basil, parsley, mozzarella and parmesan cheeses and combine well.
  • Add mixture to 2/3 of the sheet pan and top with bread crumbs.
  • Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, drain water from tofu and blot VERY WELL with paper towels.
  • Slice tofu into 4 even slices lengthwise so they are large, thin rectangles. Continue to blot each slice with paper towels until they are almost dry.
  • Combine panko crumbs, oregano, garlic powder, salt and parsley on a plate.
  • In a separate wide bottomed bowl, beat egg, dip each tofu slice into egg and then into breadcrumbs.
  • Once zucchini has baked for 20 minutes, remove foil.
  • Place tofu slices onto remaining 1/3 of baking sheet and spray tops with cooking spray.
  • Bake for 10 minutes until panko is lightly browned.
  • Add 2-3 tablespoons of sauce to each piece and top with approximately 2 tablespoons of shredded cheese.
  • Bake for additional 5 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Remove from oven and serve sheet pan meal with a garnish of fresh parsley and basil.

Notes

To make it easier, I placed tofu on another piece of nonstick foil and added it to the sheet pan.
