US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degree F. Coat an 8x8-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with parchment paper. (The parchment paper makes it easy to slice.)
Cut the stems off the zucchini. Grate the zucchini with a box grater or a food processor. Place onto a clean kitchen towel and squeeze as much liquid out as you can. Discard the liquid (or use in a cocktail for yourself). Measure out 1 cup tightly packed grated zucchini.
Add the zucchini to a medium bowl with the remaining ingredients. Stir well to make a uniform batter. Pour into the prepared baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown and the top is firm and set.
Remove from the oven, cool, then remove from the pan to slice into sticks or squares using a serrated knife.

Notes

Once cooled, store in an airtight container lined with a paper towel (to absorb excess moisture) in the fridge for up to 5 days. Or freeze in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible for up to 3 months. Warm in 15-second increments in the microwave.
Use yellow summer squash instead of zucchini if preferred.
Use dairy-free shredded cheese as needed.
Use a cup-for-cup gluten-free flour blend in place of the all-purpose as needed.
Add 1 teaspoon cumin, chili powder, or Italian seasoning for more flavor.
Serve with guacamole, ketchup, sour cream, salsa, or another favorite dip if desired.
