Golden, crispy muffins combining grated zucchini, potato, and Parmesan cheese with flavorful spices, perfect as a snack or side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium zucchini, grated and excess moisture squeezed out
  • 1 medium potato, peeled and grated
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (can substitute with gluten-free flour)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup chopped green onions (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. Grate the zucchini and potato, then wrap them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated potato, Parmesan cheese, flour, and eggs.
  4. Stir in the chopped green onions if using.
  5. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika; mix until well combined.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, until tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes.
  9. Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Squeezing out excess moisture from zucchini and potato is key to achieving crispy muffins and preventing sogginess., Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better flavor and texture compared to pre-grated varieties., Optional mix-ins include fresh herbs such as basil, dill, or parsley for added aroma and flavor., Gluten-free option: substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend., Storage tips: Store airtight at room temperature for up to 1 day to keep crisp; refrigerate up to 3-5 days (texture softens but flavor deepens); freeze cooled muffins for 2-3 months and reheat in oven or microwave to revive crispness.
