Ingredients

• 3 medium zucchini
• 1 large carrot
• 1 medium brown onion
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, grated
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon butter or oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

Grease a rectangular 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or oil and line the base with parchment paper for easy release.

Step 3

Grate the zucchinis and carrot. Place the grated zucchini in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.

Step 4

Finely dice the onion.

Step 5

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

Step 6

Add the grated zucchini, carrot, onion, cheese, and parsley to the dry ingredients. Mix to coat the vegetables evenly with the flour mixture.

Step 7

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, olive oil, and milk until well combined.

Step 8

Gradually pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture, stirring until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 9

Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.

Step 10

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the slice is golden brown and set in the middle. A skewer inserted into the center should come out clean.

Step 11

Allow the slice to cool slightly in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely or cutting into portions.

Step 12

Serve warm or at room temperature as a snack, side dish, or lunch item.
