Zucchini Slice Recipe Tips

This recipe can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for up to five days. It is also fine to be frozen for up to 3 months.
Drain the moisture from the zucchini before adding it to your mixture. Place the grated zucchini in a clean tea towel or paper towel, squeeze out as much water as possible.
The size of oven tray you use will make a difference. If you use a larger tray it will result in a much thinner Zucchini slice.
