Zucchini Poppers are a flavorful, bite-sized snack inspired by global comfort food traditions, particularly Mediterranean cuisine. These poppers are made by combining fresh zucchini with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, spices, and often an egg binder, then shaping them into bite-sized rounds or sticks. Typically baked or lightly fried, they offer a crispy exterior with a tender, savory center. Zucchini is a low-calorie vegetable rich in vitamins A and C, fiber, and antioxidants, making it a nutritious base for this dish. The use of minimal oil during preparation keeps it lighter than traditional fried snacks. However, depending on the amount of cheese and breadcrumbs used, the dish can be relatively high in sodium and carbs. Perfect as an appetizer or party treat, Zucchini Poppers provide a satisfying way to enjoy vegetables while indulging in a balanced blend of flavor and texture.
