Description
Simple baked bites made with shredded zucchini and garlic.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is important for crispy bites.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg.
- Add the dried zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the egg. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Stir in the olive oil.
- Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the bites are set.
- Let the bites cool in the pan for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool slightly more.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley to the mixture.
- If you do not have a mini muffin tin, you can drop tablespoon-sized mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes.
