Ingredients

1 large zucchini (290 g)
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese, sour cream, or yogurt alternative)
¼ cup (25 g) oat flour (or other flour of choice)
½ tsp dry oregano (or other dried herbs)

Instructions

Step 1: Wash the zucchini well and shred it using a grater.
Step 2: Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt and let it sit briefly to draw out excess moisture.
Step 3: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Step 4: Add the salted zucchini, including its moisture, into the egg-yogurt mixture.
Step 5: Add the oat flour and dry oregano. Stir gently until everything is evenly combined. The batter will be runny, which is normal—avoid overmixing.
Step 6: Line a large baking tray (about 37 cm x 26 cm) with parchment paper.
Step 7: Pour the mixture onto the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula.
Step 8: Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes, until the surface is set and lightly golden.
Step 9: Let the flatbread cool slightly before cutting into two pieces and using as desired.

Tips & Variations

Try adding different dried herbs like thyme or rosemary to customize the flavor.
For a gluten-free option, use almond or coconut flour instead of oat flour, but adjust the quantity slightly for consistency.
Serve warm with your favorite fillings or toppings for extra flavor.

Storage

Store leftover zucchini flatbread wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or toaster oven to retain its softness without drying out.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use a different vegetable instead of zucchini?

Yes, shredded cauliflower or zucchini alternatives can work, but keep in mind they may affect the moisture content and baking time slightly.

Why is the batter runny? Should I add more flour?

The batter is meant to be runny because the zucchini releases moisture. Adding too much flour can make the flatbread dense. It’s best to bake it as is for a soft texture.

Flatbread Ingredients

1 large zucchini (290 g)
¼ tsp salt
2 eggs
¼ cup (60 g) Greek yogurt (or cottage cheese, sour cream, or yogurt alternative)
¼ cup (25 g) oat flour (or other flour of choice)
½ tsp dry oregano (or other dried herbs)

Instructions

Prepare the Zucchini: Wash the zucchini thoroughly, then shred it finely using a grater to create a consistent texture for the flatbread batter.
Remove Excess Moisture: Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with ¼ teaspoon salt and let it sit briefly. This process draws out excess moisture, helping the batter set correctly during baking.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and Greek yogurt together until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring an even texture in the flatbread.
Combine Zucchini and Wet Mixture: Add the salted shredded zucchini, including the moisture released, into the egg-yogurt mixture. This moisture helps keep the flatbread soft.
Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the oat flour and dry oregano gently. The flour acts as a binder and contributes to a bread-like texture. Be careful not to overmix as the batter will be runny, which is expected.
Prepare Baking Tray: Line a large baking tray (approximately 37 cm x 26 cm) with parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow for even cooking.
Spread Batter: Pour the batter onto the tray and spread it evenly with a spatula to form a flat, uniform layer.
Bake: Place the tray in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the surface is set and lightly golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the flatbread to cool slightly before cutting it into two pieces. Use the flatbread as a wrap, sandwich base, or taco shell for a versatile, healthy meal option.

Notes

You can substitute Greek yogurt with cottage cheese, sour cream, or a plant-based yogurt alternative depending on your preference.
Oat flour can be replaced with other flours such as almond flour or gluten-free blends but may alter the texture slightly.
For extra flavor, experiment with different dried herbs like thyme, basil, or rosemary instead of oregano.
The batter will be runny; this is normal and ensures a soft texture instead of a dense omelette-like result.
Make sure to drain excess moisture from the zucchini to prevent sogginess but retain enough liquid to keep the batter cohesive.
