Tips:

• To make shredding the zucchini easier, just throw it in the food processor.

• You’ll want to put the zucchini in a cheese cloth and give it a good squeeze to take out all the moisture.

• You can swap flour for gluten free blend such as cup 4 cup.

• Refrigerate 4 days. Leftovers are great reheated for lunch.
