Description

A savory, cheesy bake made with fresh zucchini and a blend of cheeses—perfect as a side dish, snack, or light vegetarian meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for draining zucchini)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for low-carb)
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
  • Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line with parchment paper.
  2. Grate the zucchinis and place in a colander. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  3. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
  4. In a large bowl, mix together the drained zucchini, cheddar, Parmesan, flour, eggs, garlic powder, pepper, and oregano.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
  7. Let cool slightly before slicing and serving.

Notes

  • Can be served warm or at room temperature.
  • Add chopped herbs like parsley or basil for extra flavor.
  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of chili flakes or diced jalapeños.
