INGREDIENTS

  • Dry Ingredients

    • 🌾 5 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 ¾ cups white sugar
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¾ cup white sugar
    • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

  • Wet Ingredients

    • 🧈 1 ½ cups butter, at room temperature
    • 🍋 ⅔ cup lemon juice

  • Main Ingredient

    • 7 cups peeled, seeded, and sliced zucchini

STEPS

1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease sides of a 10x15-inch jelly roll pan.

2

Mix flour, 1 ¾ cup sugar, and ½ teaspoon cinnamon together in a large bowl. Cut in butter with a fork to make a crumbly dough. Measure out ½ cup of the dough and reserve.

3

Press ½ dough firmly into the bottom of the jelly roll pan to form a crust.

4

Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 10 minutes.

5

Combine ¾ cup sugar, lemon juice, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large saucepan. Add sliced zucchini. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until zucchini begins to soften. Stir in reserved ½ cup dough. Cook and stir until mixture thickens, 3 to 5 minutes.

6

Spread zucchini mixture over the crust. Press remaining dough lightly on top.

7

Return to the preheated oven and bake until top is lightly browned, 35 to 45 minutes. Let cool before slicing into 24 bars, about 20 minutes.
