Do you know when I feel like I’m most winning at life? When I can make a meal that lasts us two nights, or if I make enough for leftovers for lunch the next day. This easy zucchini slice can be a breakfast, lunch or even dinner. It’s a winner.
Sometimes it’s the small things.
My favourite zucchini slice is delicious in so many ways, but every time I pour that oil in I get a bad case of the guilts. This recipe comes WITHOUT the side-serve of guilt.
It’s perfect for dinner, great for lunches, cheesy enough the kids will love it. Winning at life, I tell you.

Yum! Oil free zucchini slice… healthy and delicious! That’s winning!
Totally winning! x
Just printed this out – hope the kids will eat – I’ll have to make sure no green is showing or they won’t try it though 🙁
If you peel the zucchini first, then grate it, you shouldn’t see any green.
Was going to say the same as Krista. Peel it!
I’ve never tried it without the oil. Will have to give it a go.
Enjoy! x
Ohh this looks like good party food! I’ve been looking for healthy(ish) recipes for V’s birthday party and this is going on the list! Thanks lovely!
Perfect! You could slice it up into nice little squares. 🙂
Mmm yummm…. love zucchini. It’s so simple to work with it! I have to try your recipe! 🙂
Let me know how you go. x
I’ve loved zucchini slice forever and day… but haven’t made it in ages. That’s now going to change! Love it, thanks Chantelle. x
Hope you enjoy it. x
Oh that looks like a winner! Perfect for school lunches!
Definitely! I’d go a slice now. 😉
I’ve never really attempted zucchini (horrid memories of my mum making me eat the larger version (marrow?) as a child). It’s kinda tasteless and watery, right? Tell me what it’s like because these slices look so good!
I think you need to give zucchini a chance. When done badly it’s watery and limp, but when done well it’s really so so so good.
I’d go the full fat version slice first {via the link inside the post}, to really get your tastebuds dancing and then move onto this one later.
Please try it?
We don`t have self-raising flour here in Finland. Do you have any recommendations as to a ratio with regular flour and baking powder?? Half a teaspoon? A whole one? I`d love to try this, it seems so easy to make! 🙂
Nigella says: Just add 2 teaspoons of baking powder for each 150g/6oz/1 cup plain flour. Sift the flour and baking powder together into a bowl before using, to make sure the baking powder is thoroughly distributed (or you can put both ingredients into a bowl and whisk them together).
– So 1 teaspoon for this recipe. 🙂
Thank you! I will write that down some place safe!
I love these kind of slices because they hide veggies for the kid! Will give this one a go, using GF SR flour and let you know how it goes. Yum!!
I made this thank you, was so easy but I got a little creative threw in a carrot, crumbled some feta in and layed a few asparagus on top was Devine, oh yeah took out bacon prefer no meat in this but you would never know. Was perfect with pickle onions and baked beans .
That sounds SO good!
I made these for a bring a plate party and the kids just couldn’t get enough of them! I didn’t end up putting bacon in it, but I did add some carrot and it was delish!
Yay! 🙂
