• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and lightly salt it. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean cloth or paper towels.

Step 3

In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Peel and grate the carrot. Finely chop the green bell pepper.

Step 5

In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, processed cauliflower, grated carrot, and chopped bell pepper.

Step 6

Add the egg, almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the vegetable mixture, and mix until well incorporated.

Step 7

Using your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them onto the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Brush the vegetable balls with olive oil to ensure an even, crispy crust.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.

Step 10

Allow the vegetable balls to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them as an appetizer, snack, or as a side dish!
