Ingredients
1 medium zucchini
2 medium russet potatoes
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour for gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons chopped chives or parsley (optional)
Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
2. Grate the zucchini and potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place grated vegetables in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
3. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and potatoes, Parmesan, eggs, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Fold in herbs if using.
4. Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin cups, pressing it down gently in each cup to compact.
5. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
6. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or enjoy as is.
Notes
Moisture Control Is Key: Be sure to wring out the zucchini and potato thoroughly. Too much water = soggy muffins.
Make It Your Way: Add cheddar, mozzarella, or even bacon bits for your own twist.
Air Fryer Reheat Hack: Reheat leftovers in the air fryer at 375°F for 5–7 minutes for crispiness just like fresh.
