Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 3 eggs
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9-inch pie dish or baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

Step 2

Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as you can. This step prevents the pie from becoming soggy.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly distributed.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms.

Step 6

Fold the shredded zucchini and half of the shredded mozzarella cheese into the batter until evenly mixed.

Step 7

Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and spread it evenly with a spatula. Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese on top.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the zucchini pie to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy!
