Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 cups grated zucchini
1 3/4 cups biscuit baking mix
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
4 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 large finely chopped onion
4 cloves chopped garlic
3 tablespoons dried parsley
1/2 teaspoon salt
3/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Steps:

Spread the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking pan and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown. Allow the mixture to cool. Cut into small squares and serve warm or cold.

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 or have blemishes, as they will be more likely to be watery and have a bitter taste.
  • Slice the zucchini thinly. This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a sharp knife. This will help you make clean, even slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When cooking the zucchini, make sure to leave enough space between the slices so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the zucchini until it is tender but still has a slight crunch. Overcooking the zucchini will make it mushy.
  • Season the zucchini to taste. You can use a variety of seasonings, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or Italian seasoning.
  • Serve the zucchini immediately. Zucchini is best served hot or warm.
