Number Of Ingredients 5

2 cups grated zucchini (about 2-3 medium)
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg
salt and pepper to taste
Optional: ¼ cup fresh chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a mini muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray. In a bowl mix the zucchini, egg, cheese and cilantro. I did not add any salt or pepper since the Parmesan is salty enough for us. Evenly divide the mixture into the mini muffin pan filling to the top, packed down in each cup. Bake for 15- 18 minutes until golden brown around the edges. Mine were perfect at 15 minutes.

Tips for Making Perfect Mini Zucchini Bites:

  • Choose small zucchini: Small zucchini are more tender and have a better flavor than larger ones.
  • Shred the zucchini coarsely: This will help the zucchini bites hold their shape better.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini: This will help prevent the bites from becoming soggy.
  • Use a variety of cheeses: This will give the bites a more complex flavor.
  • Don't overcook the bites: They should be cooked through but still slightly firm.
  • Serve the bites warm or at room temperature: They can be enjoyed as an appetizer, snack, or side dish.
