🧀 Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Bites are flavorful and crispy, making them a perfect easy snack packed with fresh veggies and cheese.
🌿 This recipe is quick to prepare, healthy, and versatile, ideal for serving with your favorite dipping sauces or as a party appetizer.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: About 30 bites

Ingredients

– 2 cups shredded and well-drained zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)

– 1 ¼ cups plain panko bread crumbs

– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

– 1 large egg

– ½ cup finely chopped green onion

– 2 tablespoons chopped dill

– 1 teaspoon kosher salt (or to taste)

– 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

First Step: Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Start by grating the zucchini and squeezing out as much moisture as possible trust me, this step is key to avoiding soggy bites and getting that crispy finish we all love!

1: In a large mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups of shredded zucchini, 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs, 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, 1 large egg, ½ cup finely chopped green onion, 2 tablespoons chopped dill, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1 teaspoon garlic powder. Mix everything thoroughly until it’s all blended into a sticky mixture that’s ready for shaping.

2: Shape the mixture into small balls, about one tablespoon each, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. This is where you can get creative, but remember, even sizes help them bake evenly!

3: Bake at 400°F for approximately 30 minutes, flipping them halfway through to get a browned and crispy exterior that’ll make your mouth water. Once done, they’re best served warm with ranch or your favorite dipping sauce it’s like a little flavor burst in every bite!
