Ingredients
Scale:
2 medium-sized Zucchini
1 teaspoon Salt
3 Garlic cloves, minced
1 large Egg
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 cup Breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
1/2 teaspoon Black pepper
1 tablespoon Garlic and herb seasoning
2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Wash and trim the ends of the zucchini. Grate them using a box grater or a food processor and place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, salt, minced garlic, egg, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, black pepper, and garlic and herb seasoning. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small bites or fritters, about 1-2 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil over the bites, ensuring they are lightly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip halfway through for even browning.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your Crispy Zucchini Garlic Bites warm with your favorite dipping sauce!
