Low-Calorie Vegetable Casserole

Step 1: Prepare the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Step 2: Prepare the Vegetables

  • Wash and chop all the vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
  • Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 3: Season the Vegetables

In a large bowl, combine:

  • Broccoli
  • Cauliflower
  • Bell peppers
  • Zucchini
  • Onion
  • Garlic
  • Olive oil
  • Italian seasoning
  • Paprika
  • Salt and pepper

Toss until all the vegetables are evenly coated.

Step 4: Arrange in the Baking Dish

  • Spread the vegetables evenly in the prepared baking dish.
  • Scatter the cherry tomatoes over the top.

Step 5: Prepare the Creamy Mixture

In a separate bowl, whisk together:

  • Eggs
  • Greek yogurt
  • Milk
  • Mozzarella
  • Parmesan
  • Parsley
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Salt and pepper

Whisk until smooth.

Step 6: Assemble

  • Pour the creamy mixture evenly over the vegetables.
  • Gently shake the dish so the mixture settles between the vegetables.

Step 7: Bake

  • Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the egg mixture is set.
  • For a golden top, broil for the last 2–3 minutes if desired.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

  • Let the casserole rest for 5–10 minutes before serving.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley or basil if desired.

Serve warm as a light main course or as a side dish.

Tips for Success

  • Add spinach or mushrooms for extra nutrition.
  • Use reduced-fat cheese to keep the calorie count lower.
  • Don’t overcook the vegetables—they should remain slightly crisp.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
