Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shredded zucchini (drained well)
  • 1 clove garlic (grated fine)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400˚F and lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean towel to drain excess moisture. Twist the towel to wring out as much water as possible.
  3. Grate the garlic finely using a box grater.
  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, grated garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix well until combined.
  5. Shape the mixture into small balls (about one tablespoon each) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown. Serve warm with marinara sauce.
