Ingredients 

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini, well-drained

  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs 
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese 
  • 2 tablespoons of finely minced fresh chives (or 1 tablespoon of dried chives) 
  • 1 tablespoon of finely minced fresh parsley (or 1/2 teaspoon of dried parsley) 
  • 1 teaspoon fresh basil, chopped (or 1/2 teaspoon dried basil) 
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano) 
  • A pinch of salt and pepper 
  • Tomato sauce (for dipping) 

Instructions 

  1. Prepare the Zucchini:  
  • Start by shredding the zucchini. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.  
  • This step is crucial to ensure your bites are crispy and not soggy. 
  1. Combine the Ingredients:  
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the drained zucchini, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, and the chopped chives, parsley, and oregano.  
  • Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix everything together until it is fully combined. 
  1. Form the Bites:  
  • Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking sheet by covering it with parchment paper. 
  • Using your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. 
  1. Bake:  
  • Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.  
  • Be sure to turn them halfway through baking to ensure even browning. 
  1. Serve:  
  • After baking, take the zucchini garlic bites out of the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes. 
  • Serve warm with a side of tomato sauce for dipping.
