Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • ½ cup rolled oats (or breadcrumbs)
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Zucchini
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Shred the zucchini using a grater and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to prevent the bites from being too wet.
  2. Mix the Ingredients
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, eggs, diced yellow onion, rolled oats (or breadcrumbs), shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and ground black pepper.
    • Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  3. Form the Bites
    • Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
    • Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small balls or patties, about 1-2 inches in diameter.
    • Place the zucchini bites on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
  4. Bake the Bites
    • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and firm to the touch.
    • If desired, you can flip the bites halfway through the baking time to ensure even browning.
  5. Cool and Serve
    • Remove the zucchini bites from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
    • Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.

Conclusion

Baked Parmesan Zucchini Bites are a delicious and healthy snack that is sure to be a hit with everyone.
