Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini
- 1 cup Whole-wheat flour
- 0.5 cup Low-fat milk
- 1 large Egg
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Extra-virgin olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out the excess moisture, and transfer to a mixing bowl.
Step 3
In the mixing bowl with the zucchini, add the whole-wheat flour, low-fat milk, egg, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chopped parsley.
Step 4
Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined and a thick batter forms.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon, scoop the batter onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing each beignet about 1 inch apart.
Step 6
Brush the tops of the beignets with olive oil to help them brown and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before serving.
Step 8
Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
