Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded zucchini about 2 zucchinis, peel on
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup whole grain seasoned bread crumbs
- ½ medium white onion diced
- ½ cup shredded carrot about 2 carrots
- 2 large eggs
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Prep: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Shred zucchini with a food processor or box grater. Spread onto a few layers of paper towels. Sprinkle with salt and set aside for 15 minutes.
- Stir: Shred/dice/measure remaining ingredients. Press excess water out of the zucchini, then mix everything together. Spoon golf ball-sized rounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake: For 30 minutes, or until the outsides are brown and crisp.

Notes
- Storage: These bites are like most other “fried” apps in that they’re best right out of the oven and don’t store as well as we’d like! However, thanks to the blessing of an air fryer, you can toast these babies right back to near perfection in a few minutes’ time! In the meantime, keep leftovers refrigerated.
