This green chili zucchini bake is like a green chili infused lasagna, except we're swapping the noodles for some zucchini strips. It's light, low-carb but also satisfying. It's a perfect meal for summertime when you want something savory but not heavy. This zucchini bake is super customizable as well so have fun with it! You could switch up the cheese and meat and especially play with the toppings - sour cream, cilantro, green onions, salsa, pico de gallo, hot sauce, avocado - just to name a few. The zucchini bake is your oyster!
