There is so much zucchini bursting out of my garden right now! The only question I have is... How do I get the kids to enjoy zucchini? They'll eat it, sure. My kids are pretty

Ingredients

  • 2 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 4-5 cracks of fresh pepper
  • olive oil

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.

  2. 2

    Remove some moisture from the zucchini: Working over the sink, put your shredded zucchini on a couple of paper towels and squeeze until most of the liquid comes out.

  3. 3

    Add all the ingredients together in a large bowl–EXCEPT the olive oil. Use your hands to mix together and start assembling 2-inch balls. Press hard with your hands to create the balls.

  4. 4

    Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  5. 5

    Drizzle the balls with olive oil and bake for 25 minutes.
