Ingredients

• 2 cups, grated Zucchini
• 2 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Olive oil
• 0.25 cups Milk
• 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons Dried Italian herbs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard 9x5-inch loaf pan.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.

Step 4

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs, then whisk in the olive oil and milk until well combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Fold in the grated zucchini until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Slice and serve the zucchini and Parmesan bread on its own or with a dollop of butter. Enjoy!
