Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 large eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 1.5 cups shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish.

Step 2

Wash the zucchini, then grate them using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out the moisture.

Step 3

After 10 minutes, transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Set the drained zucchini aside.

Step 4

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, garlic powder, and black pepper.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

Step 7

Fold in the squeezed zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, and parsley until evenly distributed.

Step 8

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Remove from the oven and let the casserole cool for 10 minutes in the dish.

Step 11

Slice into 9 squares and serve warm. Enjoy!
