📝 Ingredients

• 1.1 lb / 500g zucchini (approx 2 large)
• 5 large eggs
• 1 small onion - finely diced
• 1 cup grated cheddar or grana padano cheese
• 1 cup flour - I've used chickpea flour
• 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 1 handful chopped parsley
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Grate the zucchini’s with a box grater, you should have about 3 cups once grated. Add a good pinch of salt and leave it on the side for now
2. 2In the meantime whisk the eggs in a large bowl and preheat oven to 340℉/170℃
3. 3Then add the onion, parsley, olive oil, cheese and a good pinch of salt and pepper and stir together
4. 4Grab a big handful of the grated zucchini and squeeze out all the excess water. Work in batches for all of the zucchini then add them to the mixture and stir together - you can discard the released water
5. 5Add the flour and baking powder and gently fold into the mixture, making sure there is no flour left at the bottom of the bowl
6. 6Line a rectangle baking tray (about 11x9 inches / 28x23cm in size) with parchment paper. Pour in the zucchini batter, tap a couple of times on the kitchen bench top and flatten the top with a spatula to an even layer
7. 7Bake in the oven for 30 - 35 minutes - the top should be lightly golden brown. Check by sticking a toothpick in the middle, it should come out clean and not wet. Allow it to cool for 10 minutes in the pan
8. 8Slice into 8 pieces and enjoy your delicious Zucchini Slice hot or cold
