Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Potato Muffins Recipe
Ingredients
- For the muffins:
- 1 medium zucchini (about 1 cup grated)
- 1 medium potato (about 1 cup grated; Russet or Yukon gold work well)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with whole wheat flour)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or chives (chopped, optional)
- Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the muffin tin
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Grate the zucchini and potato. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and wring out the excess moisture. This step is crucial to avoid soggy muffins.
- Mix the Batter:
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini and potato.
- Add the grated Parmesan cheese, all-purpose flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. If using, add the chopped parsley or chives.
- Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
- Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake:
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Tips:
- Storage: Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. They can be reheated in the microwave or oven.
- Variations: You can add other ingredients like chopped bell peppers, spinach, or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.
- Serving: These muffins can be served as a snack, side dish, or even breakfast!
