Zucchini & Corn Slice
w/ Chives & Oat Flour
Another summer garden favourite recipe with zucchini ~ this slice is simple & healthy is great served hot or cold with a garden green salad.
I use oat flour as it is more nutrient-dense than wheat flour – it is high in fibre, heart-healthy, anti-inflammatory,
and oats are soothing to the nervous system.

Method

PREHEAT OVEN 325F | 162C. Lightly rub or brush oil to grease a baking dish around 9″ | 23cm in size.
GRATE ZUCCHINI into a bowl – remove any large seeds first. SQUEEZE grated zucchini to remove a lot of the water content.
CUT raw corn off the cob – stand vertically on a chopping board and slice down, cutting kernels off the cob using a chef’s knife. Finely slice chives.
CRACK YOUR EGGS into a bowl, add oat flour, salt and pepper, whisk well.
ADD prepped zucchini, corn & chives. Mix really well to combine.
POUR into baking dish and spreading evenly. BAKE 20-25mins until set = eggs are cooked & slice is firm to touch.
SERVE hot or cold. Serve with tomatoes + cucumber + lettuce & nasturtium flowers or a Summer Green Salad.
To complete your in-season summer patch-to-plate table, serve with Peach Blueberry & Daylily Salad or Healthy Peach Crisp for dessert.
