Description
A delightful treat that combines savory flavors with a moist, tender texture, featuring roasted garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchinis (about 1 cup grated)
- 1 head of garlic (for roasting)
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup olive oil
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice the top off the head of garlic, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast for 30-35 minutes.
- While the garlic is roasting, wash and grate the zucchinis, then squeeze out excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the mashed roasted garlic, grated zucchini, eggs, and olive oil. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add to the wet mixture, stirring gently.
- Fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
- Grease a loaf pan with olive oil or line with parchment paper.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 50-60 minutes until golden brown.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days.
- For longer storage, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
- To reheat, use a toaster or microwave.
