Notes

RECIPE NOTES & TIPS

Check for doneness – The slice should be golden and firm on top. A skewer inserted into the centre should come out clean.
Avoid sogginess – Gently squeeze excess liquid from grated zucchini before mixing.
Use baking paper – This makes it easy to lift the slice out once cooled.
Add foil if over-browning – Loosely cover the top with foil during the last 10 minutes if needed.
Serve hot or cold – Delicious straight from the oven or chilled in lunchboxes.
Storage – Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Freezing – Freeze cooled slice in individual portions for up to 3 months.
Reheat – Microwave 1–2 minutes or oven bake at 160°C until warmed through.
