2 medium zucchini, grated 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, basil, or chives) 1/2 cup bread crumbs (panko recommended for extra crispiness) 1/4 cup all-purpose flour 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/2 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Vegetable oil, for frying Marinara sauce or dipping sauce of your choice, for serving (optional)
Equipment: Large bowl Grater Baking sheet Large skillet Paper towels
Instructions: Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is important to prevent the zucchini balls from becoming soggy.
Make the mixture: In a large bowl, combine the grated and squeezed zucchini, Parmesan cheese, herbs, bread crumbs, flour, egg, salt, and pepper.
