Scarpaccia di Zucchine

Pane-Bistecca

Scarpaccia di Zucchine fits wonderfully in the harvest time now! You can get rid of some zucchini right away in a very simple way and they taste delicious!

Actually, it’s nothing new, because this type of sheet vegetable has been around in Italy for a long time, originating from Tuscany more precisely from Viareggio. It was served to former sailors because it was cheap and cooked quickly. The name Scarpaccia means bad or worn-out shoe, a funny name, but the tart is as thin as a worn-out shoe.

Scarpaccia is quite simple; zucchini in a small dough spread on the tray and baked until crispy.
