Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 large egg, beaten

2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional)

Olive oil spray or cooking oil for greasing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent the bites from becoming soggy.

      Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, ranch seasoning, garlic powder, black pepper, salt, and optional chives. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

        Form Snack Bites: Using your hands, take small amounts of the mixture and form them into bite-sized balls or patties, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.

          Bake the Bites: Lightly spray the tops of the bites with olive oil to encourage crispiness while baking. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and slightly crisp on the outside.

            Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the snack bites cool for a few minutes. Serve warm with additional ranch dressing on the side for dipping if desired.

              Enjoy your Zucchini Ranch Snack Bites as a delicious and healthy snack or appetizer!
