Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Olive oil spray or for greasing
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
In the same bowl, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, chopped parsley, black pepper, onion powder, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix until well combined.
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form into bite-sized patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
Place the patties on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or brush with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
