Savory baked muffins made with grated zucchini and potato, mixed with Parmesan cheese, flour, and seasonings for a crispy exterior and tender inside. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 12 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Grate the zucchini and potato, then squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the grated vegetables with Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until well combined.
  4. Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down firmly to pack tightly.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm.

Notes

Squeezing out moisture from the vegetables is crucial for crispiness. For extra crunch, top with a sprinkle of breadcrumbs before baking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in a pan or oven.
