- 2 medium zucchini About 400 grams.
- 1 cup breadcrumbs 120 grams.

- 2 cloves garlic Minced.
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

- Wash and trim the zucchini, then grate using a grater or food processor until you have about 2 cups of grated zucchini.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy bites.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, egg, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Using your hands or a spoon, form small bite-sized patties or balls from the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spray the tops lightly with olive oil or use a brush to coat them with olive oil for an extra crunch.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the bites are golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.
- Feel free to serve with a dipping sauce like marinara or garlic aioli for added flavor.
