Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

Form mixture into small balls, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the vegetable balls.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the vegetable balls are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Serve as a snack or appetizer, optionally with a Whole30-compliant dipping sauce.
