Ingredients
- 4 cup (960 ml) zucchini shredded
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup (240 ml) breadcrumbs
- 1 cup (240 ml) parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 cup (240 ml) cheddar cheese shredded
- 4 large eggs
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh thyme 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
- 1 tbsp (15 ml) fresh basil 1 tsp (5 ml) dried
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
Instructions
- Set your oven to reach a temperature of 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Lay the grated zucchini on a paper towel to absorb excess liquid. Alternatively, spread it out and lightly salt to extract more moisture; removing more liquid will result in a crispier texture.
- In a sizable mixing bowl, blend together the eggs, minced garlic, basil, thyme, and parmesan. Incorporate the zucchini and breadcrumbs into the mixture.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to form 24 portions, each roughly equivalent to 2 tablespoons.
- Arrange these portions on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Top each portion with a sprinkle of cheddar cheese.
- Cook in the oven for 23 to 28 minutes.
Notes
- Ensure zucchini is well-dried to avoid sogginess; salting and resting for 10 minutes helps.
- For enhanced flavor, toast breadcrumbs in a dry skillet until golden before mixing.
- Fresh basil and thyme add vibrancy; crush dried herbs slightly to release their aroma.
