Baked zucchini cheese bites are a delicious savory appetizer, snack or side dish with a crispy outside and tender inside. These delicious zucchini bites make the perfect appetizer!
Ingredients
2½ cups zucchini, shredded
1½ cups white cheddar, shredded
½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using a food processor with a grated (shredder) attachment or a box grater shred the zucchini and put it in a fine mesh strainer with a bowl below. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon salt over the zucchini and give it a gentle toss. Set aside for 10 minutes.
In the meantime, prepare and measure the other ingredients and place them in a large bowl.
Then, using your hands, squeeze the grated zucchini to drain excess liquid (it doesn’t need to be fully dry) before adding it with the other ingredients.
Mix together until well-combined.
Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and place them at least 1-inch apart on the baking sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden-brown. Let it cool slightly before eating.
Serve warm with marinara sauce or ranch for dipping, if desired.
