EASY ZUCCHINI SLICE

This zucchini slice is a favourite of mine and my whole family. It can be divided into 12 for snacks or 6 and served with a side of vegetables as a main. Its super easy to make and was adapted from quite an old cookbook. I've changed a lot of the quantities and ingredients to make it healthier and lighter. 

Ingredients:

·      500g zucchini, grated

·      3 shallots or 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped

·      2 medium carrots, grated

·      Optional: ¼ cup fresh herbs, such as parsley, finely chopped

·      ¼ cup reduced-fat grated cheese

·      1 cup plain flour (or gluten-free plain flour if intolerant/allergic)

·      4 eggs, preferably free range. 

·      2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

·      sea salt & ground black pepper

Method:

1.     Preheat a fan-forced oven to 200 degrees Celsius. Lightly grease a baking tray and with baking paper.

2.     Combine the zucchini, shallots/onion, carrots, parsley (if using), cheese, flour, eggs, oil and salt & pepper in a large bowl.

3.     Pour the mixture into the baking tin and bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until the slice is lightly brown.
