Why is my zucchini slice watery?

Zucchini retains a lot of water, so it is common for zucchini slice to sometimes be on the watery side.

We recommend squeezing the grated raw zucchini until all the water is removed, prior to adding it to the batter.

This will help eliminate the sogginess, and instead will be fluffy and light, yet still a little moist.

Zucchini slice can be stored in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. It can also be frozen for up to 3 months, so feel free to make a huge batch in advance and defrost it as you go.
