Equipment

  • oven
  • colander
  • mixing bowl
  • Sheet pan
  • parchment paper

Ingredients
  

Zucchini and Onion

  • 2 large zucchini sliced into rounds as thinly as possible
  • ½ medium red onion thinly sliced
  • 1 ½ teaspoons salt divided

Dry Ingredients

  • ¾ cup medium grind cornmeal plus more for finishing
  • cup rice flour

Other

  • Olive oil for drizzling

Instructions
 

Method

  • Salt and drain the zucchini and onion: Place the zucchini and onion in a large colander, sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt, and toss to combine. Place the colander over a large bowl to collect any liquid.
  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a rimmed quarter sheet pan (9x13-inch) with parchment paper and generously drizzle it with olive oil.
  • Dry the zucchini: Remove the weights and plate from the zucchini and squeeze the excess water out, pressing the zucchini into the colander over the bowl below.
  • Make the batter: Add the cornmeal, rice flour, and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt to the bowl with the ½ cup of zucchini water and whisk everything together to form a crumbly batter.
  • Transfer to the pan: Transfer the mixture to the well-oiled sheet pan and press everything down with your hands until evenly spread out. Drizzle generously with olive oil, and sprinkle with a final dusting of cornmeal.
  • Bake: Bake until golden brown and crispy, rotating the pan halfway through, 30 to 40 minutes.
  • Set aside to cool for 10 or so minutes, then carefully transfer the tart to a cutting board, using the parchment as handles, and cut into desired serving sizes. Serve immediately.

Notes
