👩🍳 INSTRUCTIONS
1️⃣ Prepare the zucchini
Wash the zucchini and grate it using the large holes of a box grater.
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and gently squeeze out as much excess moisture as practical.
This step is important because zucchini naturally contains a lot of water.
2️⃣ Make the mixture
Place the zucchini in a large bowl.
Add the eggs, mozzarella, Parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, paprika, and parsley.
Mix everything thoroughly until evenly combined.
3️⃣ Form the bites
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Spoon small portions of the mixture onto the tray and gently flatten them into little rounds.
Keep them reasonably small and similar in size so they cook evenly.
4️⃣ Add a little oil
Lightly brush or spray the tops with olive oil.
This helps encourage browning and gives the edges a delicious golden finish.
5️⃣ Bake
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Bake for approximately 18–22 minutes, turning carefully halfway through if desired.
Continue cooking until the edges are golden and crisp.
6️⃣ Finish
Remove from the oven and let the bites rest for several minutes.
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and a little Parmesan.
Serve warm with your favorite dip.

🔥 THE METHOD FOR CRISPY RESULTS
The biggest secret is removing excess water from the zucchini.
If the zucchini is very wet, the mixture can become soft and difficult to brown.
Don’t make the bites too thick, either. Smaller, flatter portions cook more evenly and develop more golden edges.
Give each piece a little space on the baking tray so hot air can circulate around it.

📜 A LITTLE HISTORY
Zucchini is a summer squash that became especially popular in Mediterranean cooking, where it has been prepared in countless ways—fried, baked, grilled, stuffed, and combined with cheese and herbs.
Flourless vegetable dishes are also common in many home kitchens because vegetables, eggs, and cheese can create satisfying dishes without requiring a complicated dough.
This recipe brings those simple ideas together in a quick modern bake. 🥒❤️
