Looking for a delicious side dish for your next brunch? Go for this Zucchini Flan that's delicious and Spanish-inspired. Change the flavor by adding mint or basil to the parsley, or you can choose to spice it up with red pepper flakes or diced chilies. Use a food processor or a mandolin to quickly and easily shred the zucchini, or you can use the large holes of a box grater. Serve hot, warm or chilled, depending on your mood or the season!
