Raw Zucchini Bake
How do you prepare baked zucchini and mozzarella bake?
Cut zucchini into thin slices and flavor breadcrumbs with mint, basil, and Parmesan. In a greased baking dish, alternate layers of aromatic breadcrumbs, raw zucchini, drained mozzarella, and zucchini flowers. Finish with breadcrumbs and Parmesan, and bake at 180°C for 35-45 minutes until the top is gratinated and golden.
An ideal recipe for a fresh and different dinner. Served with a salad, it makes a complete meal. To make the most of all the properties and nutrients of zucchini, such as potassium, folic acid, vitamin E, and vitamin C, I prepare this recipe with the vegetables raw, cooking them only for a few minutes in the oven.

Instructions
Using a vegetable slicer or potato peeler, cut the zucchini into very thin slices. Set aside.
Wash and dry the mint and basil leaves.
Place the 75 g of breadcrumbs in a blender or chopper, add the leaves, and process until the leaves are finely chopped.
Put the mint- and basil-scented breadcrumbs in a bowl; add 5 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese, a pinch of salt, and pepper to taste. Stir everything very well. Set aside.
Slice the mozzarella and let it drain in a colander.
Meanwhile, gently clean the flowers and remove the pistil and stems. If necessary, wash and dry them.
Pour in 2-3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil and grease the pan completely.
Sprinkle with a layer of breadcrumbs.
On top of the breadcrumbs, add a layer of zucchini slices.
Add a layer of drained mozzarella cheese.
Add a layer of 2-3 well-spread flowers.
Add a layer of breadcrumbs, and continue making the same layers until all the ingredients are used. There will be 4-5 layers in total.
The last layer must be breadcrumbs, then sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for 35-45 minutes. When golden, turn off the oven and remove.
