        Notes

        The flavor depends on the freshness of the zucchini and the quality of the Parmesan.
        I sometimes add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
        Try using whole wheat breadcrumbs for a healthier twist.
        Don't forget to let them cool slightly before serving—they're best when not too hot! 😋
        These bites make a simple side or a main event at parties.
        Enjoy the process and let these tasty snacks shine on your table! 🥒🧀
