Ingredients
Instructions

Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter version, you can substitute half of the zucchini with shredded carrots. If you don't have Parmesan cheese, any hard cheese like Pecorino or even a dairy-free alternative works well. Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the shredded zucchini to prevent a soggy mixture. Adding a pinch of red pepper flakes can give it a nice kick.
Serving Suggestions
These Zucchini Savories make a great appetizer or snack. Serve them warm or at room temperature with a side of marinara sauce for dipping. They pair beautifully with a fresh salad, like Russian Beet Salad, for a light meal. You can also enjoy them alongside a glass of chilled white wine.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the pieces on a baking sheet and warm them in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 10-15 minutes until heated through. You can also microwave individual pieces for a quick snack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I freeze the Zucchini Savories?

What can I use instead of Bisquick?
If you don’t have Bisquick, you can make a homemade substitute using 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. This will work well in this recipe and give you a similar texture.
Can I add other vegetables to this recipe?
Absolutely! Feel free to mix in other vegetables like bell peppers, spinach, or corn to enhance the flavor and nutrition. Just be sure to keep the total volume of the vegetables about the same to maintain the texture.
