Ingredients
  

  • 2 large zucchini halved and grated
  • 2 cups sweet corn kernels fresh or thawed frozen
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • to taste flaky sea salt

Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Grater

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater, then squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel or paper towel to prevent sogginess.
  2. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering and fragrant.
  3. Add the grated zucchini and cook, stirring occasionally, until it starts to soften and turn golden around the edges, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the corn kernels and cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the corn to heat through and soften slightly.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the grated Parmesan evenly over the vegetables, letting it melt and create a cheesy crust while stirring gently to incorporate.
  6. Continue cooking until the cheese is bubbly and slightly browned on top, about 2 minutes.
  7. Season the hash with flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  8. Remove from heat and let sit for a minute to settle before serving.
  9. Serve warm, garnished with additional Parmesan or fresh herbs if desired.
