Ingredients

• 6 cups Zucchini
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Nutmeg

• 1 cup Quick oats
• 0.75 cup Brown sugar

• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon (for topping)
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter, melted

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Peel the zucchini, remove seeds if they are large, and slice the zucchini into thin, half-moon shapes.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the sliced zucchini, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of flour. Toss until the zucchini is fully coated.

Step 4

Transfer the zucchini mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, prepare the topping. Combine the oats, brown sugar, 3/4 cup of flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Mix until evenly combined.

Step 6

Pour the melted butter into the topping mixture and stir until it forms a crumbly texture.

Step 7

Sprinkle the topping evenly over the zucchini mixture.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the zucchini is tender.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow the crisp to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
