Zucchini has quickly climbed the ranks into my top 5 favorite foods (foods, not dishes, just to be clear). Along side asparagus, shrimp and cheese, it is something I could eat everyday. I’m sure somewhere, behind her sewing machine and amidst her home design magazines, my mother is overcome with a sense of victory as I have finally started eating my vegetables. Mom is really always right.
Today I decided to experiment a la pinterest and add a fun twist to an easy potato recipe by adding in my new favorite veggie; the zucchini. I made these super easy (I mean it, if I can do it then anyone can) potato and zucchini parmesan stacks that are so tasty and are actually decent for your body.
I am by no means an experienced lady in the kitchen so anytime I find something easy, yummy and healthy I feel like Gordon Ramsey.
If you want to learn how to make these delish veggie stacks just follow the directions below!
1. Gather your ingredients
There aren’t many and feel free to replace them with items in your kitchen that you prefer. You will need 1 potato (I went russet), one zucchini, parmesan cheese (sliced is ideal but shredded is fine) and olive oil. Then you can add whatever spices you like, but I kept it simple with salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder.
2. Peel and slice your veggies
Pretty self explanatory. I used a blade insert for my spiralizer to cut the potato and zucchini into thin slices.
3. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl
Just make sure they’re all covered!
4. Start stacking!
After using a paper towel to oil up the muffin tin, start stacking your veggies! Potato slice, then a sprinkle of parmesan, zucchini slice, parmesan, poatoe, repeat. Add a little bit more cheese on top as the finishing touch!
5. Bake for 15 minutes on 375
And you’re done!
I dipped mine in some sriracha ranch, therefore making my healthy snack not healthy at all. And now that I think about it, potatoes and cheese aren’t necessarily the healthiest option either. But anything is healthy if you add zucchini right? Right!
What’s your favorite healthy(ish) snack? Tell me in the comments!

I too am a new lover of zucchini! I just started to like it a couple years ago! Therefore, I will definitely be trying this recipe! I’m always in need of a “healthy” snack or something easy to bring to school for lunch!

I was so happy with how they turned out! I also really love making zucchini pasta!
