Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Zucchini, grated and drained well
  • 1 large Egg, room temperature
  • 1/3 cup Breadcrumbs, plain or panko Panko for added crunch
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated fine Freshly grated preferred
  • 1 clove Garlic, grated fine
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh basil, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Fresh oregano, chopped
  • 1 pinch Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Marinara sauce for dipping To taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400˚F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Set aside.
  • Use a box grater to grate the zucchini into a clean towel. Roll up the towel and twist to wring out the moisture. Grate the garlic using the small holes on the box grater.
  • In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Make sure the zucchini is well-drained so the mixture holds together.
  • Shape a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands, pat into small balls, and place on the baking sheet. Leave a little space between each so air can circulate.
  • Bake for 15-18 minutes in the preheated oven until golden. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to prevent soggy bites. Use panko for a crunchier exterior and freshly grated Parmesan for better flavor.
