Zucchini Slice Recipe
Serves: 8
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 30-35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 large carrot, grated
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 cup baby spinach, chopped
- 1 cup whole wheat flour (or almond flour for a low-carb option)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 large eggs
- ½ cup low-fat Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp dried basil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking dish (about 20x30 cm or 8x12 inches) with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- Grate the zucchinis and carrot. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out the excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped onion, and chopped baby spinach.
- Add the whole wheat flour (or almond flour), grated cheese, and baking powder. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, Greek yogurt, and olive oil. Add the dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the vegetable mixture. Stir until everything is well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown and set in the middle.
- Allow the zucchini slice to cool in the dish for 10-15 minutes before slicing it into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
