I love zucchini and usually I put them in everything, salads, soup, burritos, sandwich. It's clearly quite a versatile ingredient and also is a healthy one to have always in your fridge.
Most of the times I look for organic ones and before cooking I wash very well the peel of the zucchini and leave the peel for adding more fiber and vitamins to my food.
These cheesy zucchini bites are healthier than zucchini fritter without sacrificing any flavor.
***It's very important to squeeze out the excess water of the zucchini to get a very crispy zucchini bites.
