Directions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your muffins bake evenly.
- Grease the Muffin Tin: Use olive oil spray to grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
Mixing the Ingredients
- Squeeze Out Moisture: Grate the zucchinis and potatoes, then use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy muffins.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini, potatoes, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, beaten eggs, minced garlic, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Baking Process
- Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, pressing down slightly to compact each portion.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the muffins are golden and crispy on top.
Cooling and Serving Suggestions
- Cool Before Serving: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them. This allows them to set properly.
- Serving Options: Serve warm as a side dish or appetizer, paired with your favorite dipping sauce like marinara or a yogurt-based dip.
