Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
- 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Cooking spray or olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
- Prepare the vegetables: Grate the zucchini and potato, then use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- Mix the batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and potato with Parmesan cheese, flour, eggs, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Stir until the mixture is well combined.
- Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
