Description
A cheesy, golden-baked zucchini dish that’s bursting with flavor—perfect as a side or low-carb comfort food.
Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon salt (for sweating zucchini)
2 large eggs
1 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup almond flour (or breadcrumbs for non-low-carb option)
1 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking dish (8×8 or similar) with parchment paper.
Grate zucchini and sprinkle with salt. Let sit in a colander for 10 minutes, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
In a large bowl, mix the squeezed zucchini, eggs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, almond flour, garlic (if using), oregano, and pepper.
Spread the mixture evenly in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until set, golden, and firm to the touch.
Let cool slightly, then slice into squares or sticks.
Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve warm with marinara or ranch dip.
Notes
Make it spicy: Add a pinch of chili flakes or jalapeño.
Use a food processor for quick grating.
Swap almond flour for oat flour, coconut flour, or regular breadcrumbs.
Stores well in the fridge for 3–4 days; reheat in toaster oven or air fryer.
