Method

Preparation Steps

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
In a bowl, mix the drained zucchini with garlic, parsley, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and the beaten egg.
Form small round balls (1-2 inches) and place them on the baking sheet with space in between.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning halfway for even browning, until golden-brown.
For extra crunch, air fry the bites at 375°F (190°C) for an additional 5 minutes.
Allow to cool slightly before serving with your choice of dipping sauce.
