Ingredients
- 6 cups zucchini about 5 medium zucchinis
- ½ cup sugar 100 g
- ⅓ cup lemon juice 80 mL
- 1 cup all-purpose flour 120 g
- 1 cup rolled oats 100 g
- 1 cup brown sugar 100 g
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ cup butter 1 stick, can use vegan variety, cold and cubed
Instructions
- Zucchini: Preheat oven to 350°F (176°C). Peel and chop zucchini into bite-sized pieces. In an uncovered saucepan, bring zucchini, sugar, and lemon juice to a simmer over medium heat. Cook about 15 to 20 minutes, until zucchini is soft and tastes sweet. Transfer zucchini and liquid to a 9x13 inch (or similarly sized) baking dish.
- Crust: Mix flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt together in a large bowl. Add cubes of cold butter to flour mixture and blend with hands until evenly distributed. Dough will be very crumbly. Sprinkle over the zucchini mixture.
- Bake: For 30 to 45 minutes, or until juices are bubbly and the top is golden brown.
Notes
- Storage: Leftover crisp can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge covered or in an air-tight container. You can also freeze the baked version for up to 3 months. Reheat it in the oven from frozen. Just be sure to cover it with foil to prevent burning.
- Can you make this in advance?You can, but zucchini has such a high moisture content that I'd recommend only making it 1 day in advance. Keep the crisp topping separate and top right before baking.
