Ingredients

  • 3 medium zucchini, sliced into ¼-inch rounds
  • 2 medium tomatoes, sliced
  • ½ medium white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup finely chopped smoked beef strips (halal), fully cooked
  • ¼ cup ghee or coconut oil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano leaves or 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with some olive oil.
  2. Arrange zucchini slices in an even layer across the bottom of the dish. Drizzle with remaining olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Dot with ghee or coconut oil.
  3. Layer sliced onions over the zucchini, followed by sliced tomatoes.
  4. Sprinkle chopped smoked beef strips evenly over the vegetables.
  5. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, then sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.
  6. Garnish with oregano leaves.
  7. Cover loosely with aluminum foil and bake for 15–20 minutes. Remove foil and continue baking for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender and cheese is golden.
  8. Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Pat zucchini dry to reduce excess moisture in the bake.
  • Feel free to substitute cheeses or make it vegetarian by omitting smoked beef.
  • Best enjoyed fresh but can be refrigerated and reheated without losing flavor.
  • Can be served as a main dish or hearty side.
