Zucchini Garlic Bites
Combine grated Zucchini, garlic, parmesan and fresh herbs and bake to perfection!
Ingredients
- 2 cups Zucchini grated
- 5 cloves Garlic finely minced
- ⅔ cup Panko Crumbs
- ½ cup Grated Parmesan
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoon Fresh Parsley finely chopped
- 3 tablespoon Fresh Basil finely chopped
- 1 spray Oil Spray to coat the bites
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Grate the 2 cups of zucchini and and squeeze out any excess water from it. This can be done by placing it in a potato ricer, or wringing out the liquids with the help of a clean dish towel or nut milk bag.
- In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini with the garlic, panko crumbs, grated parmesan, eggs, parsley and basil.
- Mix all ingredients together with a rubber spatula. The panko crumbs will start to absorb the liquids and it will start to bind everything together as a large mass.
- When the above mentioned texture is achieved, start shaping the balls. Use a cookie scoop which holds between 1 ½ tablespoon to 2 tablespoon of mixture. You should be able to make 12 balls.
- Place the rounded bites onto the prepared baking tray and lightly spritz the zucchini bites with oil spray.
- Bake in the preheated 400F oven for 20-22 minutes or until they start to take on a golden color and become firm.
- Remove from the oven and serve with your choice or marinara sauce, alfredo sauce, or even Caesar salad dressing.
