Ingredients​

• 1 cup shredded zucchini drained well
• 1 clove garlic grated fine
• 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

• 1 teaspoon chopped fresh oregano (or 1/2 teaspoon dried)
• pinch of salt and pepper
• tomato sauce for dipping

Instructions​

• Preheat oven to 400˚F. Lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray. Set aside.

Notes​

How to Freeze

Follow the recipe and let zucchini bites cool. Place in a single layer on a large baking sheet and flash freeze for one hour. Once the zucchini balls are frozen, place them into a freezer bag. Store up 4 months in the freezer.

Reheat by preheating your oven to 400˚F. Place the frozen zucchini garlic bites on a baking sheet and bake until heated through and crispy on the outside, about 10 to 15 minutes.
