Ingredients
- 2 medium, shredded zucchini
- 3 medium, shredded carrots
- 1 large, peeled and shredded sweet potato
- 1 medium, finely diced onion
- 2 cloves, minced garlic
- 4 large eggs
- 0.5 cups matzo meal
- 0.25 cups, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.25 cups, chopped fresh dill
- 0.25 cups olive oil
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9x13-inch (22x33 cm) baking dish with cooking spray or a light coating of olive oil.
In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, carrots, sweet potato, and diced onion.
Add the minced garlic, chopped parsley, and dill to the vegetable mixture and stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and ground nutmeg.
Stir the matzo meal into the egg mixture until fully incorporated.
Pour the egg mixture over the vegetable mixture and stir until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down slightly with a spatula to ensure it's compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
