• 0.25 cups Green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.75 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

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

Step 4

Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the grated zucchini, grated carrot, green onions, parsley, dill, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 7

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

Step 8

Allow the bread to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then carefully transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Step 9

Serve as is or warm with a slather of butter. Store leftover bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
