Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini:

Let it sit for 10–15 minutes to release water.

-
Make the Batter:
-
In a large bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, pepper, and herbs.
-
Add the grated zucchini, egg, and olive oil.

Form the Flatbread:

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil.

Spread the zucchini mixture into a thin round or rectangle (about ¼ inch thick).

Bake:

For extra crispness, brush with olive oil and bake another 5 minutes.
-
