Print Recipe

A moist and savory zucchini bread infused with fresh herbs and cheese, perfect as a side dish, snack, or breakfast option.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups grated zucchini (squeezed to remove excess moisture)
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  3. Stir in the chopped herbs and Parmesan cheese.
  4. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the olive oil and milk.
  5. Fold in the grated zucchini.
  6. Add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top.
  8. Bake for 45–55 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.

Notes

  • Use a clean kitchen towel to wring out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini.
  • Feel free to substitute or mix herbs like thyme, dill, or chives.
  • Tastes great warm with butter or as a base for savory toast.
