Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 c grated zucchini, peeled and seeded if needed ( i leave some peeling on for color)
2 tsp kosher salt
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 Tbsp baking powder
3 large eggs
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 tsp high quality lemon pepper
2 tsp chopped fresh thyme or 1 teaspoon dry
1 c finely chopped onion
2 c grated sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven 350 degrees. Mist the inside of a 7x11 glass baking dish with cooking spray.
  • 2. Stir together the zucchini and salt in a colander and let drain 15 minutes. Press out the liquid; let drain another 15 minutes. Pick up small handfuls of zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as possible; transfer to a small bowl.
  • 3. Whisk together flour and baking powder in a large bowl.
  • 4. In a small bowl, whisk the eggs until blended, then whisk in the oil, lemon pepper and thyme. Pour egg mixture into flour mixture and mix well.
  • 5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the zucchini, onion and cheese. The batter will be very stiff. Scrape it into the prepared baking dish and press evenly into the corners.
  • 6. Bake until the top is golden brown, about 30 minutes. Let cool at least 5 minutes before serving. Refrigerate leftovers.
  • 7. I have reheated the leftovers the next day and it was just as good maybe even better!

1/2 c grated parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley
1/2 tsp seasoned salt
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp dried basil
1/2 c chopped onion
2 c bisquick heart healthy mix
3 c thinly sliced zucchini

  • 2. Whisk in onion then baking mix. Stir in zucchini. Spoon into pan. Bake until golden, about 25-30 mins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid zucchini that are large, soft, or have yellow spots.
  • Grate the zucchini properly. Use a box grater with large holes to grate the zucchini. Grating the zucchini too finely will make the squares mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture from the zucchini. This will help to prevent the squares from being too watery.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough.
  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the squares cool before serving. This will help them to hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Zucchini squares are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover zucchini. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can easily make these tasty squares at home. So next time you have some zucchini on hand, give this recipe a try!
