Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 2 medium Carrots
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 medium Potatoes
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Matzo meal
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
- 1.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoons Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
Grate the zucchini, carrots, potatoes, and onion using the large holes on a box grater. Alternatively, use the shredding attachment of a food processor for quicker preparation.
Using a clean kitchen towel, wrap the grated vegetables and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the kugel from becoming watery.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add the grated and squeezed vegetables to the bowl with the eggs. Mix to combine.
Stir in the matzo meal, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until fully incorporated.
Add the vegetable oil to the mixture and stir well to distribute evenly.
Transfer the vegetable mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly and pressing it down lightly with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel feels firm to the touch.
Remove the kugel from the oven and let it cool for about 10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles for serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a side dish for your Passover meal.
