Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450 g) ground beef
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  5. Remove from skillet and serve warm with your favorite sauce or as an appetizer.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini to prevent soggy meatballs.
  • These meatballs can also be baked at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes.
  • Serve with marinara sauce, over pasta, or in a sub sandwich for a delicious meal.
