A Word From The Cook

A great appetizer using summer zucchini.

Ingredients

• 2 – 3 Zucchini shredded (enough to make 2 cups packed)
• 3/4 Cups G.F. Bread Crumbs (if GF is not needed I’d use panko)
• 1 Cup Cheddar Cheese (grated)
• 2 Eggs
• 2 Cloves of Garlic (minced)
• 1/2 Tbsp Italian Seasoning
• 1/2 Tsp Onion Powder
• Salt and Pepper to taste.

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400° F.
2. Grate the Zucchini and place in cheesecloth or a kitchen towel (j-clothes work great) and squeeze as much liquid out as you can.   You should end up with about 2 cups of packed Zucchini.
3. Place in a large bowl.
4. Add all the other ingredients and mix to combine.
5. Using about 1 large Tbsp of the mixture form into bit size pieces and place on a baking stone or parchment lined baking sheet.
6. Serve with a Garlic aioli (or keep it simple and cheat – use the store bought one).
