Classic Lunchbox Thermomix Zucchini Slice
The Thermomix Zucchini slice is one of my favourite “go to” recipes. It’s packed with healthy zucchini plus the bacon & cheese makes it irresistible.
Whenever I’m looking for a quick, healthy meal to serve I inevitably fall back on this dish.
The recipe ticks all my boxes, it’s delicious, quick to make and everyone always LOVES it! The best part is it includes hidden vegetables, plus the leftovers make a great lunchbox idea. There is always a fight over who gets to take the leftovers to lunch or school.
Zucchini Slice Tip
- This recipe freezes well so if you’re one of these super organised mums you could make and freeze the recipe ahead of time. Cut the slice into serving sizes before freezing. The individual portions can be used for school lunches, or single serve dinners on busy nights.
Unfortunately, I have never been that organised, so my tribe fights it out for the measly leftovers.
- Note I’ve made the Thermomix zucchini slice in a slice tray and a mini loaf tin. If you do use a loaf tin make sure you line it with baking paper so it doesn’t stick. You could also make these in large muffin trays with cupcake wrappers. The cooking times will alter depending on what tray you use.
Serving Suggestion
The zucchini slice makes a “figure friendly” main meal when served with a large, fresh salad.

Can you substitute the bacon for a non-meat alternative?
Hi Agatha,
Yes you can substitute the bacon for 3/4 cup of sun dried tomatoes. It’s still absolutely delicious.

What a great recipe. Thank you.
Made muffin size ones (24), omitted bacon & substituted with carrot. Added a little salt, black pepper & basil.
Cooked for 20mins..
Fantastic. Ready to be delivered to a customer who wanted courgette muffins.
Hope she will be pleased with them.
Had to make another batch for hubby as he said they were sooo good. 👏👏
My grandson keeps asking me to make this, he loves it so much. Oh if only he know the main ingredient :- )
Think is going to be my ‘go to’ recipe for his lunch when he starts prep later this mth. I’m hoping to get organised and have a freezer packed ready to go.
Hi Lyndall,
That is fabulous to hear!!! I’m so pleased your grandson enjoys this. It’s a great dish, and so portable 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi,
I was wondering why the inside of the zucchini slice is still very moist and soggy despite putting in the oven for > 45min?
Thanks.
Hi Tracey, as the zucchini is moist, you must wring it out after chopping to remove as much of the liquid as possible to prevent the slice being moist and soggy. If you find it moist, try leaving it in the oven at a lower temp (ie, 100*) for 10-15 minutes to remove the moisture
