Ingredients You Need

Zucchini – The star of this dish is a big, green zucchini! For simple slicing, you may use a vegetable slicer or slice by hand.

Onion. A white, yellow, or even red onion will work well.

Polenta – With the exception of the grain’s consistency, polenta and cornmeal are almost identical products. Polenta has a bit more bite than cornmeal and is considerably more coarsely crushed, which prevents the finished product from being mushy.

Egg – You’ll need only 1 egg at room temperature.

Whole Wheat Flour

Yogurt/Water – You can use what you prefer, both yogurt and plain water work well to create a softer texture. Yogurt, however, will add a bit more richer taste, but even if you use only water it will still be pretty good!

Salt – Preferably use some higher-quality salt, like sea salt or Himalayan salt.

How To Make

Step 1: Grate the zucchini, carrot, and onion, and before transferring it into the medium bowl, with hands, squeeze out the excess moisture from them.

Step 2: With zucchini and onion, whisk an egg, and add all the remaining ingredients (5 tbsp of polenta, 5 tbsp of whole wheat flour, 100 mL plain yogurt/water, and salt). Mix it well with a spatula until the flour is no longer visible, and all ingredients are well incorporated.

Step 3: Transfer the mixture to a baking pan (mine was 9×33), and bake at 400F (200C) for 20-30 minutes or until well baked (ovens vary).
