Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups leftover stuffing
- 1 cup shredded zucchini
- 1 cup shredded carrot
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
If your leftover stuffing is chunky, pulse it in a food processor for a few seconds to break it into smaller, uniform pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the stuffing, shredded zucchini, shredded carrot, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well incorporated.
Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
Brush the tops of the veggie bites with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and hold their shape.
Remove the veggie bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, marinara, or cranberry sauce.
