These crispy baked zucchini feta balls are flavorful, simple, and versatile. Easy to make, packed with herbs and spices, and baked to golden perfection, they’re ideal for meal prep, snacks, parties, or light meals.

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 150 g feta cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3–4 tbsp flour
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for brushing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
  2. Wash and grate the zucchini. Wrap in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, crumbled feta, egg, flour, chopped onion, minced garlic, parsley, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Mix until a moldable mixture forms. Add more flour if too wet.
  5. Shape into small balls using your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
  7. Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  8. Remove from oven and serve warm or at room temperature with your favorite dip.

Notes

  • Make them vegan by using dairy-free feta and a flax egg.
  • Add chili flakes or smoked paprika for a spicy version.
  • Substitute parsley with fresh mint or basil for different flavors.
  • Coat in breadcrumbs or panko before baking for extra crunch.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge for 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
