Ingredients
- 1-1/2 cups shredded zucchini with skins, drained with strainer or towel (it must be dry)
- 1 egg, slightly beaten
- 1/2 cup grated cheese (I used a Cheddar/Monterey Jack combo) Please note: I've used Mozzarella cheese in the recipe as well. Just about any cheese should work.
- 1/4 cup bread crumbs (I used plain)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried sweet basil
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to (425°F) = (218°C).
-
Place some parchment paper on a cookie sheet, spray with vegetable spray, and set aside.
-
Combine the zucchini, slightly beaten egg, cheese, bread crumbs, and seasonings, as stated above.
-
Mix thoroughly. I use a cookie scoop for the zucchini bites, but you can use a tablespoon if desired.
-
I use my hands to mound them and flatten them a bit.
-
Bake for 20-30 minutes, depending on how large you make your zucchini bites.
-
Bake until the edges are golden brown. Drain on a rack.
