The ideal recipe when you have large zucchini that got away from you. Size does not matter here.

What you'll need

Ingredients

Serves 8
  • 12 oz zucchini, coarsely grated
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 eggs
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 3/4 cup parmesan, grated
  • 3 tbsp fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tsp black pepper

How it comes together

Method

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a loaf pan.

  3. Beat eggs with oil. Add flour, baking powder, parmesan, chives and pepper. Fold in zucchini.

  4. Pour into the pan and bake 50-55 minutes until golden and a skewer comes out clean.

  5. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes before turning out.
