Cherry Pie Bombs

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare the Zucchini

  • Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to prevent the bites from being too watery.

3. Mix the Ingredients

  • In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, egg, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, parsley, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

4. Form the Bites

  • Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and form it into small balls or patties. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them slightly apart.

5. Bake

  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges. You can flip them halfway through baking to ensure even browning.

6. Serve

  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with your favorite dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch dressing.
