Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut off the bottoms of each zucchini and use a cheese grater or box grater to shred into a large bowl. Sprinkle salt on top, toss, and let rest in a colander in the sink for 20 minutes to pull out excess moisture.

  2. 2

    Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).

  3. 3

    Using a dish towel, squeeze out excess liquid from the shredded zucchini. Move the zucchini to a dry bowl and add the egg, ricotta bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, basil, parsley, pepper, olive oil, onion, and garlic. Stir until evenly mixed, then form the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.

  4. 4

    Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until browned, flipping halfway through.

  5. 5

    Serve over pasta with marinara sauce.

  6. 6

    Enoy!
