Zucchini Garlic Bites: A Savory Veggie Snack

Prepare Zucchini: Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This helps the bites stay firm.

Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine zucchini, egg, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

Shape Bites: Form small bite-sized patties or balls with the mixture.

Cook:

Pan-fry: Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook bites for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Bake: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Place bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spray lightly with oil, and bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.

Serve: Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara, ranch, or garlic aioli.
