How to make Irresistible Zucchini Cupcakes

Being a fan of vegetable-based fritters I am always trying to find a way to skip the frying part. It’s messy, your hair and clothes stink and it’s relatively heavy for your stomach. As a proud owner of a muffin baking tray, I decided to adapt my favourite recipe for zucchini fritters and transform them into cupcakes!

Ingredients

  • 3 large zucchini
  • 1 large potato.
  • 1 onion chopped.
  • Small bunch of flat-leaf parsley chopped.
  • 12-15 mint leafs chopped.
  • 1 egg.
  • 100 gr (3.5 oz) feta cheese crumbled.
  • 100 gr grated mozzarella.
  • Salt and ground pepper.

Instructions

  • Grate the zucchini and squeeze them with your hands to remove most of the water. Let them drain in a colander. Do the same with the potato. The vegetables should have as less water as possible.

  • Mix all of the ingredients in a large bowl. If the mixture is too wet, you may add a couple of tablespoons of flour or some breadcrumbs. Careful with the salt, feta cheese is quite salty.

  • Preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius (360 F).

  • Use your kitchen brush and spread some extra-virgin olive oil in the holes of the muffin tray. Use a spoon and fill with the mixture.

  • Cook for about 20 minutes until golden brown.

Good luck and bon appetit!
