Scarpaccia is a rustic Italian crust-less tart, from the Tuscany region. The name scarpaccia means something like “old shoe”, this is because once baked this slightly crispy veggie delicacy is as thin as a shoe sole. Traditionally made with zucchini, this variation replaces them with broccoli. Delicious vegetarian finger food or snack for the summer, both good served warm or cold.
