🛒 Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 1 medium potato, peeled & grated
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella (optional for extra melt)
- 2 eggs
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp chopped parsley (or coriander)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp paprika or chili flakes (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
👩🍳 Instructions
1. Remove Moisture (VERY IMPORTANT)
- Place grated zucchini and potato in a clean towel
- Squeeze out as much liquid as possible
- This step is key for crispiness
2. Mix the Batter
In a bowl, combine:
- Squeezed veggies
- Parmesan, mozzarella
- Eggs, flour
- Garlic, herbs, salt, pepper, spices
Mix until well combined.
3. Fill Muffin Tray
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Grease a muffin tin well (or use silicone molds)
- Pack mixture tightly into each cup
- Drizzle a little olive oil on top
4. Bake to Crispy Perfection
- Bake for 20–25 minutes
- Then broil for 3–5 minutes for extra crisp edges
5. Cool & Serve
Let cool slightly before removing—they firm up as they sit. Serve warm!
💡 Tips for Extra Crispiness
- Use a metal muffin tin (better browning than silicone)
- Don’t skip squeezing moisture
- Add a little extra Parmesan on top for a crispy crust
🌿 Variations
- Add chopped spinach or onions
- Swap Parmesan with cheddar or feta
- Add cooked chicken or turkey for protein
