Love It! I did not measure out zucchini, I just grated up two medium ones, probably closer to 3 cups. I subbed the bacon for carrot, omitted the cheese and added salt, fresh ground pepper. I also grated the onion, baked at 175C. I also used self raising flour so I left out the baking powder.

Made this for dinner last night and both hubby and little miss DD ate it all up. I was so happy to see that only a smidge of oil is needed as all the other similar recipes to this have a tonne of oil added. I used half zucchini, half carrot and ended up using 4 eggs. I also used wholemeal SR flour so left out the baking soda and grated my onion rather than diced. I topped mine with some tomato slices for a bit of decoration. Thanks for posting!

It was great to find a low-fat zucchini slice recipe; the one I currently uses a large amount of oil. Cooked wonderfully and tastes great. Thanks for a healthy alternative!
