Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups (grated) Zucchini
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Onion
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease an 8x8-inch baking dish or similar-sized casserole dish.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. You should end up with about 4 cups of grated, drained zucchini.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, and chopped parsley.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Add the egg mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir to combine.
Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, and baking powder. Fold everything together until evenly mixed. The mixture will be slightly thick and cohesive.
Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
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 allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.
Serve warm as a savory side dish or let it cool completely and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
