Zucchini Garlic Bites

Ingredients

• 1 cup zucchini grated and drained well
• 1 egg
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese grated fine
• 1 clove garlic grated fine
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh basil chopped
• 1 teaspoon fresh oregano chopped
• pinch of salt and pepper
• marinara sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400˚F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Set aside. Use a box grater to grate the zucchini into a clean towel. Roll up the towel and twist to wring out the moisture. Grate the garlic using the small holes on the box grater.
2. In a medium bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. Shape a tablespoon of the mixture into your hands, pat into small balls, and place on the baking sheet.
3. Bake for 15-18 minutes in the preheated oven until golden. Serve warm with marinara sauce. Recipe makes about 16 bites.
