Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for baking the casserole evenly.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the baking mix, shredded parmesan cheese, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until well mixed to form the base of the casserole.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, lightly beat the eggs, then add the canola oil and whisk until fully blended, providing moisture and richness to the dish.
Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until everything is just combined, creating a uniform batter.
Add Vegetables: Fold the diced zucchini and chopped onion into the batter carefully, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated without overmixing.
Prepare for Baking: Grease a casserole dish to prevent sticking, then pour the batter evenly into the dish, smoothing the top lightly.
Bake the Casserole: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 25 minutes, or until the casserole is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Allow the casserole to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving warm.
