Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)

Instruction

  • Use a box grater or food processor to shred the zucchini.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine shredded zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, oil, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly combined.
  • Take 2 spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture at a time and shape into 1.5-inch balls. Set aside on a plate.
  • Cook the zucchini bites in an air fryer or in the oven. To air fry: Place the zucchini balls in a single layer in the air fryer basket and spray with some cooking oil spray to keep them from sticking together. Cook at 350F for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
  • To bake: Bake in a 375F preheated oven for 15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, if desired.
