It’s one of those perfect versatile recipes that allows you to use what you have in the crisper or pantry. Don’t be afraid to try your own combinations simply keeping the egg ratio the same as the egg is the binder that holds it all together.

Swap Out The Veggies

You can swap out the veggies for what’s on hand. If like most people you end up with a crisper half full of bits and pieces especially after a trip to a farmers market.

Sometimes it’s just so hard to bypass all those fabulous fresh veggies under your nose that we end up wondering what to make with them.

• asparagus
• capsicum ( bell peppers)
• baby spinach leaves
• peas
• squash
• mushrooms
• crumbled feta
• olives
• broccoli
• you get the picture, add away 😊

Cut Veggies The Same Thickness

When preparing the vegetables try to cut all of the vegetables roughly the same thickness, this ensures that the vegetables all take roughly the same time to cook.

Using a mandolin is a great way to quickly cut vegetables such as sweet potato, zucchini, carrot, and onion so they’re all the same thickness.

How Long Does Zucchini Slice Last In The Fridge

Zucchini slice will last in the fridge for up to 5 days. Keep wrapped in plastic wrap, or store pieces in an airtight container.

Can You Freeze Cooked Zucchini Slice

As you’re making one, why not bake two and freeze the other. Cut the slice into serving sized pieces and wrap in plastic then wrap in foil and freeze. Frozen zucchini slice freezes well for 6-8 weeks.

Thaw pieces in the refrigerator overnight. The frozen pieces are perfect for lunch boxes simply take a piece from the freezer and place it in the refrigerator overnight then pop them in a lunchbox ready to eat in a few hours time.
