BAKED ITALIAN ZUCCHINI BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the grated zucchini in between two paper towels and squeeze out the excess water. You may want to repeat this step a second time to get out as much water as possible.
• Add the grated zucchini to a mixing bowl with the bread crumbs, parmesan, and beaten eggs. Mix until it comes together, then stir in the garlic, basil, parsley, salt, and pepper. Scoop out ~2 tablespoons of the batter and roll it into a ball. Repeat until you have 12 balls. Place them in even layers on the lined baking sheet.
• Bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the balls are golden brown. Serve warm with marinara sauce for dipping. Enjoy!

ZUCCHINI MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Cut off the bottoms of each zucchini and use a cheese grater or box grater to shred into a large bowl. Sprinkle salt on top, toss, and let rest in a colander in the sink for 20 minutes to pull out excess moisture.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Using a dish towel, squeeze out excess liquid from the shredded zucchini. Move the zucchini to a dry bowl and add the egg, ricotta bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, basil, parsley, pepper, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir until evenly mixed, then form the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until browned, flipping halfway through.
• Serve over pasta with marinara sauce.
• Enoy!

• Add the remaining ingredients, leaving out the flour and oil.
• If the mixture is too runny add more breadcrumbs or a few tablespoons of flour.
• Roll the mixture into small balls, roll in the flour and place on a plate.
• Chill for at least 30 minutes in the fridge.
• When ready, shallow fry in hot oil until crispy.
• Serve immediately.

COURGETTE FRITTERS
