These meatballs were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of frying them.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover zucchini. They're also a healthier alternative to traditional meatballs.

I love these meatballs! They're so flavorful and juicy. I always make a double batch so I have leftovers.

The meatballs were a bit too dry for my liking. I think I would add more moisture next time, maybe some grated zucchini or tomato sauce.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I think I would add more seasoning next time.

I was pleasantly surprised by how easy these meatballs were to make. I didn't have any panko bread crumbs, so I used regular bread crumbs and they worked just fine.

These zucchini meatballs were a hit with my family! They were so flavorful and juicy, and the zucchini added a nice sweetness. I will definitely be making these again.
