This dish is a favorite in my kitchen because it celebrates the very best of the garden before the weather turns cold. It is wonderful for those busy evenings when you want something hearty but still packed with fresh vegetables.

My top tip is to squeeze as much moisture as you can out of the grated zucchini before mixing it with the pumpkin. This ensures your bake stays nice and firm instead of getting watery in the oven.

🧺 Ingredients

2 cups grated zucchini
1 cup canned pumpkin puree
3 large eggs
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil

👩‍🍳Instructions

1
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a medium baking dish.
2
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess liquid.
3
In a large bowl, whisk together the pumpkin, eggs, and olive oil.
4
Stir in the zucchini, shredded cheese, and chopped onion.
5
Fold in the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture is well combined.
6
Pour the batter into your prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
7
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
8
Let the bake rest for about 10 minutes before slicing it into squares to serve.

💡 Tips

This bake tastes even better the next day, so it is great for quick lunches. You can store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Try serving it with a simple side salad to round out your meal.
