Frequently Asked Questions
There are a couple of reasons why your zucchini slice may be soggy. Firstly zucchinis have a high water content, and if you do not use the correct amount of flour, you will end up with a soggy slice. Secondly, it is important to follow the recipe and quantities of all ingredients as specified to ensure your slice comes together. If you notice your zucchinis are very ‘wet’, you can strain the excess water.
Yes you sure can! Zucchini Slice can be frozen for up to three months.
