This healthy zucchini slice is perfect for meal prep – quick and easy to whip up and absolutely delicious! Enjoy as is or throw in some extra veggies for something different! A great vegetarian meal for anytime of the day.
When it comes to crowd pleasers, the humble zucchini slice has stood the test of time. A quintessential “Aussie” cuisine, you can generally find the slice packed in school lunch boxes, or served at parties alongside cheerios (not cereal – cocktail frankfurts) and fairy bread (white sliced bread covered in butter then sprinkles).
As with most things, I like to put a healthy spin on beloved recipes where I can. I’ve subbed in a few healthier alternatives and the result is a perfectly balanced zucchini slice that makes no sacrifice in the taste department.
Zucchini slice is VERSATILE. Enjoy it as is for a quick on-the-go breakfast, or pop it alongside a side salad for lunch and dinner. Or take a plate of it to your next gathering. Believe me – there’s no occasion where the zucchini slice doesn’t shine.
