Zucchini Bites

Yields: 12 mini muffins 

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup grated zucchini (about 1-2 medium zucchinis)

  • 1 egg, beaten 

  •  ¼ cup breadcrumbs

  • ¼ cup grated or shredded cheese (whichever cheese you prefer)

  • ¼ cup diced onions 

  • ¼ cup diced bell peppers  

  • 1 clove garlic, minced 

  • 1-2 slices of cooked turkey bacon, chopped (optional)

  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. 

  2. Squeeze the water out of your grated zucchini using a clean dish towel. *If you skip this part, it will cause the middle of the zucchini muffins to get soggy while the outside gets crispy. 

  3. Combine all the ingredients in a bowl. Mix with fork until well combined. Scoop into greased muffin tins, filling each muffin cup just to the top. 

  4. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until top is browned. Remove from oven and let set for 5 minutes. Use knife to pop muffins out of muffin tin and serve.
