Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and lightly coat a baking sheet with olive oil or non-stick spray.

  4. In a mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, grated garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper. Mix until combined.
  5. Shape tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into small balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes until golden brown and serve warm with marinara sauce.
