Zucchini slice
I’ve always loved zucchini slice and tried to recreate. Let’s just say it certainly isn’t the same as the “normal” one but it does taste yummy & can be sliced for lunch boxes. Stays together well. And for just vegetables and seasoning I think that’s pretty good !

This was a challenge with no eggs, cheese, bacon or flour being used ! Taste is yummy, texture a bit "wet" but held together well. Just don't expect a true zucchini slice ! It tastes like it though !
Ingredients
- 2 tbs olive oil
- Can spray oil
- 2 zucchini
- Half a cauliflower cut into small florets and core cubed
- Half cup of chicken or vege stock
- 1 tbs stock powder (optional)
- 1 brown onion diced
- 2 cloves garlic sliced thinly
- Half a cup of parsley chopped finely
Instructions
- Heat oven to 200°C.
- Spirooli your zucchini into spirals or if you don't have one grate it. Press on paper towel to drain & dry.
- Meanwhile, in a frypan add 1 tbs oil and fry onion & garlic until brown and falling apart, approx 10 mins. Add tbs stock powder if you have it to give it a flavour boost. Add cauli florets (reserving about half a cup for the topping). Add the half cup of vege stock. Turn heat down to a gentle simmer, You want the cauli to cook but not in a lot of water.
- Cook for 15 mins checking and topping up water if it looks too dry. Once cooked through, blitz with stick mixer or blender. Mix with raw zucchini. Add parsley and season. The mixture should be quite dry. Rice the leftover half a cup of cauliflower and mix with 1 tsp stock powder and 1 tbs olive oil.
- Line a loaf tin with baking paper on all sides. Tip mixture in, smoothing down. Add riced cauli on top. Season.
- Bake for approx 20 mins. May need more or less depending on your oven. A crust should form. If you have a grill place under it or fan grill in the oven. This will give it the nice brown top.
- Leave to cool. Once cool cut into pieces and enjoy.
Notes
- It makes a good little snack or possibly a good one for people doing shift work to nibble on !
- It's nice reheated in the microwave.
- Freezes well in pieces.
