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.
