Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini drained well
  • 1 clove garlic finely grated
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • • 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh chives or 1 tablespoon of dried chives
  • 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley or ½ teaspoon of dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh basil or ½ teaspoon of dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon of chopped fresh oregano or ½ teaspoon of dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt and pepper
  • Tomato sauce for dipping

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Prepare the Zucchini: Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is essential to prevent the bites from becoming soggy.
  • Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, grated garlic, breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano-Reggiano, egg, chives, parsley, basil, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well-combined.
  • Form the Bites: Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape it into small balls.
  • Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  • Serve: Remove from the oven and serve warm with tomato sauce on the side for dipping.
