Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish or casserole dish with cooking spray or a small amount of vegetable oil.
Peel the carrots, zucchini, and russet potatoes. Grate them using the large holes of a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
Place the grated carrots, zucchini, and potatoes into a large bowl. Squeeze out the excess liquid using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, then return the vegetables to the bowl.
Peel and finely grate the onion. Add it to the bowl with the grated vegetables.
In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder to the vegetable mixture. Stir until combined.
Pour the vegetable oil into the mixture and mix well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly and pat it down lightly with a spatula for a smooth top.
Bake the kugel in the preheated oven for 45β50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for 5β10 minutes before slicing.OPTIONAL!: Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added flavor and a beautiful finish before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
