What I love most about this recipe is that it uses a few simple ingredients, and most of them are my pantry staples.
To make the Cheesy Garlic Zucchini Bites, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat the oven to 400 °F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, mix together 2 cups shredded and patted dry zucchini, 1 ¼ cups panko bread crumbs, 1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese, 1 large egg, ½ a cup finely chopped green onion, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
Using your hands, scoop out one tablespoon of the zucchini mixture at a time and roll into 30 separate balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the oven for about 30 minutes or until browned and crisp, flipping once halfway through.
Serve warm with ranch dipping sauce and enjoy!
