Ingredients
Instructions
- Lightly mix all ingredients in a bowl.
- Spread the mixture evenly in a 9 x 13-inch pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes at 350°F or until golden brown.
- Optional: Top with shredded Cheddar cheese before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like basil or thyme instead of oregano. If you don't have Bisquick, you can make your own baking mix with flour, baking powder, and salt. To reduce moisture, squeeze excess water from the shredded zucchini before mixing. This will help achieve a firmer texture in your Zucchini Nibbles.
Serving Suggestions
These Zucchini Nibbles make a delightful appetizer or snack. Serve them warm with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or alongside a fresh salad. They also pair beautifully with Cheese Icebox Rounds for a delicious spread. For an extra cheesy touch, top with shredded Cheddar cheese before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the Zucchini Nibbles in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 10-15 minutes or until warmed through. This helps retain their texture and prevents them from becoming soggy.
