Elimination Meatballs With Zucchini Recipes

ZUCCHINI MEATBALLS RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• 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.
• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• 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.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until browned, flipping halfway through.
• Serve over pasta with marinara sauce.
• Enoy!

ELIMINATION MEATBALLS WITH ZUCCHINI

Steps:

• Place sweet potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. Mash sweet potatoes with a fork in a large bowl; set aside to cool.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix zucchini and yellow squash into the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Add turkey and black pepper. Form mixture into 1-inch balls and place in a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are no longer pink in the center, 35 to 40 minutes.

CHICKEN-ZUCCHINI MEATBALLS WITH FETA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Cut 2 of the zucchini into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Transfer to a plate, season with salt, and set aside.
• Working over a large bowl, using the large holes of a box grater, grate the remaining zucchini. Grate 1 shallot half into the bowl as well. Add the panko, cumin, 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes and 1/2 teaspoon salt, and use your hands to toss until combined. Add the chicken and herbs and toss gently until combined.
• Lightly grease a baking sheet. With wet hands, form the chicken mixture into 16 meatballs (around 2 to 3 tablespoons each) and place them on one side of the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pat the sliced zucchini dry, then lightly coat with about 1 tablespoon olive oil. Season with pepper.
• Coarsely chop the remaining shallot half and transfer to a small bowl. Add the lemon juice, season with salt, and stir to combine.
• Add the sliced zucchini to the other half of the baking sheet, moving the meatballs over, if necessary. Bake until the meatballs are cooked through and the zucchini is golden on the underside, another 15 to 20 minutes. For more browned meatballs, broil for a few minutes, if desired.
• Meanwhile, crumble the feta into the shallot mixture. Add the 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes. Stir, breaking up the feta a bit, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Eat the meatballs and zucchini with a drizzle of the feta sauce and more fresh herbs.
