Zucchini Bites (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free)

596 shares

Zucchini bites are a fun way to get in some extra vegetables and these are a favorite with kids! They are a combination of zucchini, parmesan cheese, ground up plantain chips, eggs, and garlic. They’re really easy to make, and while I formed them into little bites, you could also bake these into mini muffins.

Zucchini Bites (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free)Zucchini tends to be very watery when heated, so the key is to soak the zucchini in some salt and then squeeze the zucchini in a clean dish towel. This is the best way to avoid having a wet mess come out of the oven.

Zucchini Bites (Grain-Free, Gluten-Free)

The zucchini bites can be served alone, or with the sour cream dip listed below. They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner or even for a quick snack!

Ingredients

  • For the Bites:
  • 3 medium zucchini, shredded (about 6 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon Celtic sea salt
  • 3 ounces parmesan, grated
  • 1/2 cup crushed plantain chips ( Inka or Terra are good choices)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • For the Sour Cream Dip:
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • 1/4 cup chopped basil

Instructions

  1. Place the zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss to combine and let sit for 30 minutes. Pour the zucchini onto a clean dishcloth. Fold the dishcloth over the zucchini and gently press to remove any excess moisture.
  2. Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Place the zucchini, salt, parmesan, crushed plantain chips, egg and garlic powder in a medium bowl and stir until combined.
  3. Spoon bite-size portions of the zucchini mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes until just brown on the edges.
  4. Combine the sour cream, chives and basil. Serve the zucchini bites with sour cream dip.

    Carrie - Do you specify Celtic Sea Salt because it is supposed to contain iodine? I have some that does not. Should I just throw it out?

      I specify it, because that's what I use to test all of my recipes. If you don't have Celtic sea salt, then next time you run out of salt, I recommend getting some. It contains over 80 different minerals!

    Hello, I would like to know if we can omit plantain chips? I noticed this question was asked back in June of 2018, but no answer given. I hope the question can be answered this time. Also, could you please add the nutrition facts. Thanks

      The plantain chips cannot be omitted because they are used as a binder for the rest of the ingredients.

        There isn't any other alternative to plantain chips? They aren't available where we live.

          I haven't tested this recipe with substitutions, so I'm not sure what would lend the exact same texture or flavor.

    Delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. They came together rather quickly. I think I made my zucchini bites a little too big, so I will make them smaller next time. Very tasty!
