Hi Chris, great question! Not including the side salad but with the optional sliced tomatoes, one serving of the zucchini slice provides 2.4 serves of vegetables. This is almost half of your daily requirement, so having 2 servings of the slice would get you pretty close to your daily recommended intake of vegetables. Thanks, Gael (LiveLighter Dietitian)

Hi Elizabeth, you can freeze this one, but you might find that the base is a little soggy when you thaw it out. Turning it upside down halfway through re-heating in the oven could help with this! Thanks, Gael

PS Can you freeze this? It wasn’t mentioned in the recipe’s tags.

This is much more interesting and tastier than the ‘Healthy Zucchini Slice’, also on this website. I made it with grated sweet potato as another person had recommended that, and used a mix of frozen corn and peas which I tossed into a pot of boiling water then drained. The overall result was good, but I thought it could have had more zucchini.
