Zucchini Garlic Bites

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400˚F (200˚C). Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray and set it aside.

Step 2

Use a box grater to grate the zucchini into a clean towel. Roll up the towel and twist it to wring out the excess moisture. This step is essential to ensure the bites have the right texture.

Step 3

Grate the garlic using the small holes on the box grater. This will help distribute the garlic flavor evenly throughout the bites.

Step 4

Combine the grated zucchini, garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper in a medium bowl. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Shape a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands, patting it to form small balls. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them.

Step 6

Bake the Zucchini Garlic Bites in the oven for 15-18 minutes or until they turn golden and crispy.

Step 7

Once baked, remove the bites from the oven and let them cool slightly. Serve them warm with tomato sauce for dipping.
