Cooking Instructions:

• Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables - Start by grating your zucchinis and carrot. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This will prevent your casserole from becoming watery.
• Step 2: Mix the Base - In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, salt, black pepper, beaten egg, sour cream, and half of the shredded cheese. Mix until everything is well combined and creamy.
• Step 3: Layer the Casserole - In your greased casserole dish, spread a layer of salsa at the bottom. Next, add half of the vegetable mixture, spreading it evenly. Top with a layer of salsa followed by a sprinkle of the remaining shredded cheese.
• Step 4: Add More Layers - Repeat the layering process with the remaining vegetable mixture, another layer of salsa, and the last of the shredded cheese. This builds up flavor and texture in every bite!
• Step 5: Bake - Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for about 30 minutes. After that, remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the top is golden and bubbly.
• Step 6: Cool and Serve - Once baked, let the casserole cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. This will help the layers hold together when serving. Enjoy your Lightened Up Vegetable Lasagna Casserole with a side salad or your favorite bread!
