Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Potato Muffins

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini, grated
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour or breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for brushing)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. Prepare veggies: Grate the zucchini and potato. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is important for crispy muffins!
  3. Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and potato with Parmesan, cheddar (if using), flour (or breadcrumbs), beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and parsley. Mix until well combined.
  4. Fill muffin tin: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups, pressing down lightly to pack them. Brush the tops with olive oil or melted butter for extra crispiness.
  5. Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crispy.
  6. Cool & serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then carefully remove and serve warm.

Tip: These muffins are great for meal prep and taste delicious dipped in sour cream or your favorite sauce!
