Ingredients
Instructions
- Combine biscuit mix, chopped onion, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, seasoned salt, ground oregano, pepper, minced garlic, vegetable oil, and beaten eggs in a bowl, mixing well.
- Stir in the grated zucchini until evenly incorporated.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a lightly greased 13x9x2 inch baking pan.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Cut into 1 1/2 inch squares and serve warm.
Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the vegetable oil with unsweetened applesauce. If you don’t have Parmesan cheese, Pecorino Romano works well as a substitute. Fresh herbs like basil or thyme can also be incorporated for added flavor. Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini to achieve the best texture. This dish can be served as a snack or appetizer similar to Cheese And Olive Puffs.
Serving Suggestions
These zucchini hors d'oeuvres are delightful served warm, and can be paired with a tangy dipping sauce like marinara or ranch. They make an excellent appetizer at gatherings or as a side dish alongside a light salad. Consider serving them alongside Holiday Party Cookies for a festive touch to your spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the squares in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes until warmed through and slightly crispy on the edges. This method preserves the texture better than microwaving.
