Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 1 medium brown onion
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.25 cup milk
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Grease a rectangular 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or oil and line the base with parchment paper for easy release.
Grate the zucchinis and carrot. Place the grated zucchini in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
Finely dice the onion.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
Add the grated zucchini, carrot, onion, cheese, and parsley to the dry ingredients. Mix to coat the vegetables evenly with the flour mixture.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.
Gradually pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown and set in the middle. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.
Allow the slice to cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or cutting into portions.
Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, side dish, or lunch item.
