Sharp Cheddar Zucchini Bites
1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 3 large, grated)
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
6 ounces Cabot Vermont Sharp Cheddar Cheese
1 3/4 cup panko
1/2 cup finely chopped parsley
2 eggs
1 large shallot (finely chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
2 tablespoons dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Lemon Parsley Dipping Sauce
1/2 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
Juice of half a lemon
1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment and lightly spray with non-stick spray.
  • Evenly salt the grated zucchini in a large bowl and allow to stand for 10 minutes. Using a colander or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini.
  • Combine the zucchini and the remaining zucchini bite ingredients in a large bowl and mix well.
  • Scoop a tablespoon sized scoop of the zucchini mixture and place on the baking sheet. Keep going until you've used it all up!
  • Gently press down on the tops of the zucchini bites to slightly flatten them.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, flipping halfway through until browned on both sides.
  • While your sharp cheddar zucchini bites are baking, you'll want to make the dipping sauce. Just mix all the sauce ingredients together in a medium bowl and chill until ready to serve.
  • Once your bites are done, serve them on a cute tray with the dipping sauce and enjoy!
