Instructions

1. Prepare the Zucchini

Grate the zucchini using a coarse grater.
Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much liquid as possible.

2. Mix the Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini and grated cheese.
Add the flour and baking powder, mixing until evenly combined.
Beat the eggs in a separate bowl, then add them to the zucchini mixture.
Stir until all ingredients are well combined. Season with salt to taste.

3. Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lightly grease a baking dish or sheet with olive oil.

4. Bake the Zucchini Mixture

Spread the zucchini mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the edges are crispy.

5. Serve & Enjoy!

Let the baked zucchini cool for a few minutes.
Slice into squares, sticks, or wedges and serve warm.
Enjoy with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or a garlic yogurt dip!
