• total time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

1 pound ground chicken

1 cup grated zucchini

1 cup grated carrot

1/2 cup finely chopped spinach, loosely packed

1/4 cup minced onion

1/2 tbsp Italian seasoning

3/4 tsp sea salt

1/2 tsp garlic powder

black pepper to taste

1/4 tsp paprika

oil for cooking

Directions

Take shredded zucchini and put it in the middle of a clean dish towel or large piece of paper towel. Wrap up the zucchini with towel squeeze a few times to help drain out some of the zucchini’s moisture.

In a large bowl, combine drained zucchini and remaining ingredients except oil. Using clean hands or a spoon, mix until well combined.

Form into bites and set aside

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook bites until a golden-brown crust starts to form and chicken is cooked through, about 5 minutes per side

Enjoy warm and with your favorite dipping sauce. Allow leftovers to cool completely and store in an air-tight container in fridge for 4-5 days
