Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized (about 300 g total) Zucchini
• 1 medium-sized Carrot
• 1 small Onion
• 2 units Garlic cloves
• 1.5 cups Chickpea flour (gram flour)
• 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
• 2 tablespoons Ground flaxseed
• 5 tablespoons (for the flaxseed mixture) Water
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Plant-based milk (unsweetened)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a rectangular baking dish (roughly 20x30 cm) with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and carrot and place them in a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

Finely dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves. Add to the bowl with the grated vegetables.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the ground flaxseed with water to create a flax egg. Let it sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Step 5

To the mixing bowl, add the chickpea flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, olive oil, parsley, salt, pepper, and plant-based milk.

Step 6

Add the thickened flax egg to the mixture. Stir everything together until well combined, forming a thick batter.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown and set in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing.

Step 10

Cut into squares or rectangles and serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
