Grate 2 zucchini with the large holes of a grater.

1.

Place grated zucchini in a mixing bowl and sprinkle with 2 tsp. of salt. Stir and allow it to sit for 20 minutes. The salt will draw liquid out of the zucchini.

2.

Pre-heat oven to 375 F. (190 C.) Squeeze the liquid out of grated zucchini with cheesecloth or nut bag, making sure to eliminate as much liquid as possible.

3.

Place it back in the mixing bowl with ¼ cup of flour, 2 tbsp. grated parmesan, 1 egg, ½ tsp. garlic powdera sprinkle of pepper, and stir.

4.

Grease a pie pyrex or tin with butter and evenly distribute the zucchini “dough” on the bottom and up the sides.

5.

Bake for 30-40 minutes. You can now fill your crust with savory pie or quiche filling and bake.
