Zucchini Bites

I had to try this after seeing it so many times on pinterest and knowing how deeply I love zucchini. So I'll spare you the chit chat and we can get right to the action. I made mine in a regular muffin tin so of you do the same. Add an extra 5-10 minutes bake time.

Zucchini Bites


- 1 cup zucchini, grated

- 1 egg

- 1/4 yellow onion, diced

- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

- 1/4 cup Italian style bread crumbs, or whatever you have on hand

- salt and pepper to taste


1. Preheat oven to 400 degree F. Spray a mini-muffin tin with nonstick spray, set aside.

2. Grate the zucchini and then place in a dish towel to squeeze out the excess water, like when using frozen spinach. If you skip this part, the middle of the zucchini bites will be really soggy while the outside gets crispy.

3. In a bowl combine, the egg, onion, cheese, bread crumbs, zucchini, salt and pepper.

4. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill the mini muffin cups to the top. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the top is browned and set. If you are using a regular muffin tin add 5-10 minutes bake time.
