# Steps:
01 -
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place shredded zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture, salting lightly to aid in drainage.

In a large bowl, mix together flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.
04 -
Add cold cubed butter to dry mixture and cut in using a pastry blender or fork until coarse crumbs form.
05 -
Stir in the egg, milk, cheddar cheese, drained zucchini, and green onion until dough is just combined.
06 -
Drop heaping spoonfuls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, leaving about 2 inches between each portion.
07 -
Transfer baking sheet to oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until biscuits are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
08 -
Remove biscuits to a wire rack and allow to cool slightly before serving warm.
# Notes:
01 -
Draining zucchini thoroughly ensures biscuits remain light and tender rather than soggy.
