Whether you've got an excellent kitchen garden happening, or you just happened to buy a serious amount of zucchinis—you're going to want to make a zucchini slice at some stage.
When your bananas start to turn, you look for banana bread recipes, the same with zucchinis. A go-to zucchini slice recipe is your saviour when you don't want to waste some fresh quality produce.
There are a ton of different ways you can put together a zucchini slice. You can go down the gourmet path, or you can turn to the Thermomix that is copping a belting in your kitchen.
Flourless is another path you can go down with zucchini slice if you need to go gluten-free, or if you've also got an abundance of carrots, throw them in as well for an extra vegetable hit.
