Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (can use frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or parsley)

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Olive oil spray (or cooking oil of your choice)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial to ensure crispy bites!

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, fresh corn kernels, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped basil, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Use a fork or your hands to mix everything until well incorporated.

      Form the Bites: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using your hands, scoop about 1 to 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into small patties or bite-sized balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between each.

        Spray and Bake: Lightly spray the tops of the zucchini corn bites with olive oil spray (or drizzle a little oil if preferred). This will help them turn golden and crispy in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown, flipping them halfway through for even cooking.

          Serve and Enjoy: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool slightly. These bites are delicious served warm as an appetizer or snack. Pair them with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or a spicy aioli for an added punch!
