Ingredients

• 4 cups (grated) Zucchini
• 1 cup (finely chopped) Onion
• 4 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible. You should end up with about 4 cups of grated, drained zucchini.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then add the olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

Step 5

Add the egg mixture to the zucchini mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6

Sprinkle in the all-purpose flour, panko breadcrumbs, and baking powder. Fold everything together until evenly mixed. The mixture will be slightly thick and cohesive.

Step 7

Pour the zucchini mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the kugel is set in the center.

Step 9

Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes before slicing into squares or wedges.

Step 10

Serve warm as a savory side dish or let it cool completely and serve at room temperature. Enjoy!
