Instructions
Creating Savory Zucchini Bread is an approachable process if you follow these steps carefully:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5 inch loaf pan.
2. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.
3. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, and olive oil. Mix well until combined.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, black pepper, and herbs.
5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. Fold in the grated cheese and sun-dried tomatoes, if using.
7. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
8. Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
9. Once baked, remove from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Following these steps will ensure your savory zucchini bread turns out perfectly moist and flavorful!
