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.

Bon Appetit!
