    Yum!!!! Thank you so much for sharing <3 I used to make an identical version which used wheat flour (before finding out I was gluten intolerant), so I was incredibly excited to find this recipe ๐Ÿ™‚ I will definitely make them again xxoo

  2. I live in Australia and buy my feta directly from the Deli by weight, could you please tell me how much weight is in a packet of feta? I am dying to try this recipe.

  3. Yum yum yum! I followed the recipe. Adding the optional feta and chilli flakes, which should be mandatory IMO ๐Ÿ˜‰. I used the coconut flour and 5 eggs, but swapped the chives for 3 tblsp of finely diced red onions and because I adore garlic, I used 4 cloves instead of 2. It was so scrummy! And I have lots of leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Bonus! Thanks for a great recipe.

    This recipe worked great. I didn’t have sweet potato on hand so used carrots and white potato, but it still worked. Also used sun dried tomatoes as my optional extra. This is brilliant as a healthy snack for kids

    1. Made this recipe this afternoon using coconut flour and ingredients as listed. Not really to my taste far too sweet unfortunately. The real problem however was the additional cooking time required to try to get a dry bake. It was moist and crumbly cooking when cut having been left to cool despite allowing at least an extra 20 minutes 5 minutes at a time. Maybe I just didnโ€™t dry the zucchini sufficiently.

  5. I love this recipe, thank you! I usually use around 400-500g sweet potato, two zucchini and six eggs. Also sometimes add nutritional yeast flakes or sundried tomatoes for extra flavour. ?

        1. This was a great recipe. Easy to make and delicious. Wondering if i can throw in other veggies like corn, carrots and cherry tomatoes etc.

          1. Hi Yash, I haven’t tried it with other veggies, but I reckon you could add corn and grated carrot. I am thinking the tomato will bring more liquid to the recipe. So you have to try it and see.

    1. Delicious thanks. I added a little onion. I would probably recommend squeezing some of the juice out of the zucchini mixture. We made about 15 slices…very tasty. We added the feta and the chilli flakes.
