Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, shredded
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs (such as parsley or basil), chopped
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil (for baking or air frying)
- Marinara sauce (for serving)
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat your air fryer.
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped herbs, beaten egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Form the mixture into small bite-sized patties.
Cooking
- If baking, place the patties on a greased baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
- If air frying, place the patties in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Serving
- Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping.
Notes
For even cooking, make the patties uniformly sized. Avoid excess water from zucchini by squeezing out moisture before mixing.
