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)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with olive oil or line it with parchment paper.
Step 2
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Step 3
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet.
Step 4
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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Bake the zucchini balls in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara or a garlic yogurt sauce. Enjoy!
