Preheat the oven to 180Β°C (350Β°F) and grease or line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and carrots, then place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze tightly to remove excess moisture and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and parsley. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, onion, parsley, grated cheese, salt, and black pepper.
Add the self-raising flour to the vegetable mixture and stir until the flour is evenly distributed.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir until you have a thick, even batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the slice is set in the center. Insert a toothpickβif it comes out clean, the slice is ready.
Remove from the oven and let the slice cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or with a side salad!
