Ingredients

  • 2 cups packed grated zucchini about 2 large zucchini
  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • marinara sauce and whole wheat pasta for serving

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F with a rack in the upper third of the oven. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Wrap up and squeeze out the excess moisture over a bowl or sink.
  • Transfer zucchini to a large bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, mozzarella, Parmesan, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork until well combined. Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1 ½-inch balls and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet. (Rather than rolling, I find that gently squeezing the mixture into a ball shape works best.)
  • Bake for 14-16 minutes, until lightly golden on top. Serve with marinara sauce and whole wheat pasta, if desired.
