Instructions

Start by slicing the zucchinis into thin rounds, dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the sausage until browned and cooked through, breaking it apart with a spoon. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and garlic until fragrant and translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a baking dish, layer the zucchini slices, cooked sausage, sautéed vegetables, and shredded cheese. Repeat the layers if desired, finishing with cheese on top.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

Notes

Use a mix of cheeses for richer flavor.
Experiment with different sausages, such as spicy Italian or mild turkey.
Make ahead and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before baking for convenience.
