Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure even cooking and a perfectly crisp texture.

Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and press out the excess moisture. This step helps the bites crisp up beautifully in the oven.

Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini with minced garlic, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and black pepper. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. Feel free to add red pepper flakes or fresh herbs for an extra flavor boost.

Form the bites: Take about one tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a small ball or patty. Arrange the zucchini bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Add olive oil: Lightly drizzle or spray olive oil over the bites to ensure they turn golden and crispy as they bake.

Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and crispy. About halfway through, flip the bites to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.

Serve and enjoy: Let the zucchini garlic bites cool for a few minutes before serving. They taste best when warm, with a crispy texture that’s simply irresistible.
