Recipe: Zucchini in White Sauce

posted in: Gluten Free, Recipes | 5

It is zucchini season and time to come up with a different recipe for using it up. For this casserole I used a white sauce and chopped zucchini. I used my scalloped potato recipe for inspiration.

I started with a medium sized zucchini. I forgot to measure it before starting so I will be a guesstimate, if that is a word. Zucchini is low in calories, but I’m not so sure once you add the sauce.

Ingredients:

  • medium zucchini
  • 3 tsp butter
  • 7 tsp gluten free flour
  • 2 tsp parsley
  • 1 3/4 cup milk

For this recipe I peeled the zucchini but you really don’t have to. Wash thoroughly if you choose to use the skin. Cut zucchini into small pieces and add to a casserole dish.

I make my own white sauce, as I can control what goes into it and know that I use gluten free flour. If you use prepared white sauce be sure to read the label carefully.

Melt butter in pan, add gluten free flour and mix well to form a roux. I add a small amount of milk to a jar and add the roux and give it a good shake to mix in well. Pour back into pan and add rest of milk and stir constantly until sauce thickens.

ready to bake

Bake at 400 F for about 35 minutes or until the zucchini is soft. Cool for a few minutes before serving.

Presto, you have a lovely vegetable dish to serve for dinner.

For a variation of this recipe you could add cheese to the sauce. The next time I think I will add some sliced carrots and/or beans to make the casserole more colourful.

    I always made all kinds of dished when we had so much in season! My friend made a zucchini sandwich for her husband’s lunch and he said that was too much! lol I bet it tasted good though!
