Ingredients
1cupZucchini, grated and drained well
1largeEgg, room temperature
1/3cupBreadcrumbs, plain or pankoPanko for added crunch
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.
