Blend the sour cream with the ricotta, boiled spinach, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill until you get a slightly thick mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
Remove the skin from the chayote with a vegetable peeler, cut lengthwise to obtain slices 0.5 centimeters thick.
Boil water in a pot, add salt, and cook the sliced chayotes for 3 minutes, or until the color of the chayote becomes more intense. Drain the chayote slices and cool directly in ice water or under cold running water. Drain again on paper towels.
Preheat the oven to 180 °C.
Pour a little avocado oil into an 11 x 22 cm baking dish. Place the chayote slices to cover the entire surface, drizzle with the spinach sauce, and add the boiled broccoli, zucchini, and shredded mozzarella cheese. Repeat until you have 2 or 3 layers. Finish with more sauce, parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley. Bake for 15 minutes at 180 °C.
Remove from the oven and serve hot; it’s perfect as a main dish or as a side.
