Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, almond flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.
Bake the zucchini balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or a garlic yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
