Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium carrot
• 1 small onion
• 1 cup self-raising flour
• 1 cup grated cheese
• 5 large eggs
• 0.25 cup olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease or line an 8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and carrots, then place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze tightly to remove excess moisture and set aside.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and parsley. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, onion, parsley, grated cheese, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Add the self-raising flour to the vegetable mixture and stir until the flour is evenly distributed.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and olive oil until combined. Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir until you have a thick, even batter.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and smooth the surface with a spatula.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the slice is set in the center. Insert a toothpick—if it comes out clean, the slice is ready.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the slice cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing into squares or rectangles.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy on its own or with a side salad!
