Cancer Fighting Zucchini Bake.
Tomatoes, which are in fact a fruit, and not a vegetable, provide the antioxidant Lycopene. Lycopene is important for flushing out free toxins. Free toxins can cause cancer and other diseases, and complications.
Onions are another contender in the fight against cancer. According to the American Heart Association, onions will help to prevent thrombosis (blood clots) and reduce hypertension (high blood pressure).
While zucchini also helps to fight cancer and heart disease, it is also wonderful for prostate health.

We have a ton of zucchini from the garden this year.
Sounds like the perfect recipe to use up the zucchini and my daycare kids won’t be able to tell
So much of health and goodness stuffed in this one single dish! It makes preparing meals easy with such wholesome recipes. I would prefer a pasta dish along with this. Very simple and well executed.
You could totally serve it over pasta or polenta and be truly satisfied.
had no idea zucchini had all those properties, I personally love to eat it all the time (hello zoodles!)
It is amazing to think of what Mother Nature has offered to us.
Looks easy and delicious! I am excited to try this.
It is definitely both of those things.

Thanks for sharing this recipe! It sounds surprisingly simple and we definitely need more veggies in our diet!
