Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect baking temperature for the casserole.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Stir these together until evenly mixed.

Notes
- You can substitute the baking mix with an all-purpose flour and baking powder blend if desired.
- For a stronger dill flavor, consider using fresh dill instead of dried, adjusting quantity to taste.
- To keep the casserole lighter, use a light canola oil or substitute with olive oil.
- Ensure the zucchini is well-drained if they release excess moisture to prevent the casserole from becoming soggy.
- This casserole can be served warm as a main dish or a side.
