Ingredients:
2 medium zucchinis, grated
1 box (8.5 oz) cornbread mix (or 1 cup homemade cornbread mix)
2 large eggs
1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup melted butter
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional for extra flavor)
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as parsley or thyme)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×9-inch baking dish or a similar-sized casserole dish to prevent the casserole from sticking.
Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. After grating, place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. This will help prevent the casserole from becoming too watery.
