Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini. Look for small to medium-sized zucchini that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid zucchini that are large, as they tend to be more watery and less flavorful.
  • Grate the zucchini correctly. Use the large holes of a box grater to grate the zucchini. Grating the zucchini too finely will make the squares mushy.
  • Squeeze out the excess moisture. After grating the zucchini, place it in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then use your hands to squeeze out the excess moisture.
  • Use a combination of cheeses. For the best flavor, use a combination of Parmesan, cheddar, and mozzarella cheeses. You can also add other cheeses, such as feta or goat cheese, to taste.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the squares tough. Mix the ingredients together just until they are combined.
  • Bake the squares until they are golden brown. The squares are done baking when they are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Baked zucchini squares are a delicious and easy-to-make side dish or appetizer. They are perfect for summer gatherings, as they are a great way to use up fresh zucchini. With their cheesy, flavorful filling and crispy crust, baked zucchini squares are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
