Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grating 2 medium zucchinis, then place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and twist tightly to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  2. In the bowl with the dried zucchini, add 2 minced garlic cloves, ¼ cup of chopped fresh parsley, ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese, and ½ cup of bread crumbs. Crack in one beaten egg and season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well combined.
  3. Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and form small balls about the size of a golf ball. Place each formed Zucchini Garlic Bite on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the Zucchini Garlic Bites for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through.
  5. Remove the Zucchini Garlic Bites from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Serve warm.
