PARMESAN ZUCCHINI BITES



Some of my vegetarian kids are visiting this next week so I am going to cook again.  These interested me on more than on a vegetarian level Zucchini Bites  But I made some changes.  I could see them with Parmesan  and added more crumbs to eliminate the squeezing out the water from the vegetables.  I love them and ate 8 straight out of the oven. Yikes!

Parmesan Zucchini Bites 


1 ½ C. packed grated zucchini (I used half yellow squash)
Generous ½ C. crushed garlic croutons (I used Costco’s Focaccia garlic)
1 beaten egg
½ C. Parmesan cheese
2 T. chopped fresh basil or 1 tsp. dry (the fresh was great)
¼ tsp. garlic powder (I used a little fried garlic but this will work)
1/8 tsp. black pepper

Mix everything together and let sit for 5 minutes for the croutons to absorb the zucchini liquid.  Drop generous spoons full onto a greased parchment lined cookie sheet.  Bake 425 for 15-18 minutes until they have crispy brown edges.  Makes 8-12  Depending how big you want them to be.
