Animal Based Chicken Zucchini Meatballs
How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 200C/400F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Grate the zucchini, sprinkle ¼ tsp of salt, and mix. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release the moisture.
Step 2
Transfer the grated zucchini to a cheesecloth and twist to squeeze out as much water. You can also place it over a mesh sieve and press it down. Return to the bowl.
Step 3
To the same bowl, add the ground chicken, parmesan cheese, cumin powder, black pepper, and ¼ tsp salt. You can add your preferred seasoning or herbs. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Using a cookie scoop, form the mixture into meatballs. Press the chicken into the scoop to prevent the meatballs from falling apart. Transfer to the baking sheet.
Step 5
Bake for 25-30 minutes until firm and golden. Allow cooling for 10 minutes on the counter. Serve immediately.
