Ingredients

• 3 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Carrot
• 1 small Onion
• 2 whole Garlic cloves
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour, as needed)
• 1 cups Cheddar cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 cups Olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 9x9-inch (23x23 cm) square baking dish or similar-sized dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and place it into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible, then transfer the grated zucchini to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Peel and grate the carrot, then add it to the mixing bowl with the zucchini.

Step 4

Dice the onion finely and mince the garlic. Add both to the bowl with the vegetables.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs together until smooth. Add the olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the eggs and mix well.

Step 6

Sift the flour and baking powder together into a small bowl, then stir the mixture into the eggs until fully combined.

Step 7

Add the wet mixture to the mixing bowl with the vegetables. Stir in the grated cheese and combine thoroughly until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the zucchini slice to cool in the dish for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve warm or cold.
