– 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat)
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
Creating Zucchini Garlic Bites is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to ensure you get perfectly crunchy and flavorful bites every time:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent soggy bites.
3. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and parsley (if using). Mix until well combined.
4. Shape Bites: Take a tablespoon of the mixture and shape it into small patties or bites. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Spray with Oil: Lightly spray the bites with olive oil to help them crisp up in the oven.
6. Bake: Bake the bites for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.
7. Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. This will enhance their crunchiness.
By following these easy steps, you’ll have a platter full of delicious Zucchini Garlic Bites ready to enjoy!
