Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Zucchini
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Quick oats
- 0.75 cup Brown sugar
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour (for topping)
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (for topping)
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Peel the zucchini, remove seeds if they are large, and slice the zucchini into thin, half-moon shapes.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss until the zucchini is fully coated.
Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the oats, brown sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until evenly combined.
Pour the melted butter into the topping mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.
Sprinkle the topping evenly over the zucchini mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.
Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
