Christmas dinner is one of the best times of the year for side dishes. If you are looking for a healthy but delicious vegetable side dish try this zucchini casserole. It is super easy to make in just 30 minutes and it has the most mouthwatering flavors, everyone will love. It is the perfect side dish to any Christmas ham, turkey or roast beef!
The best part about this recipe is it can be totally gluten and dairy-free. I always try to find recipes that I can alter and make 2 different versions of because my boys have sensitive tummies and I often make 2-3 different versions of our meals so everyone can eat the same thing but in a way that won’t make them feel sick or hurting the next day. Simple use dairy-free parmesan cheese, gluten-free panko bread crumbs and flour, and Earth’s Balance butter. Just as delicious for those of you who might need it gluten or dairy-free!
I hope you all enjoy the holidays and have an amazingly delicious Christmas dinner!
