Whole Wheat Zucchini Fritter Bites




1 med. zucchini - shredded
1 egg
1/4 purple onion - shredded
2-3oz. Parmesan cheese - grated
1/2t Himalayan pink salt
*1/2 - 1t chili lime seasoning
*OR 1/2-1t finely ground nutmeg
1 whole wheat Sandwich Skinny
1 piece Ezekiel Bread




Grate the zucchini into a medium bowl.  Press and drain all the liquid out.  Wad up some paper towels and do it again.  Add the next 5 ingredients.  *Chili lime seasoning is nicely savory, while the nutmeg creates more of a sweet flavor.  Break up the pita and bread into a mini-prep or regular food processor.  Process until it's all just crumbs.  It's easier to do this with frozen bread.  Add to the bowl.  Stir and let stand to absorb any remaining moisture from the zucchini, egg or onion.  Shape into little logs on a baking sheet.

Bake at 350° for 20 minutes.  Increase heat to 400° for an additional 10 minutes.  Turn off the oven, loosen from the pan, return to the still warm oven for about 20 minutes.  If they're still not crisp enough, flip over onto a plate, bottom sides up, and return to a 170° oven for 30 minutes.  Remove and cool a little, then serve with ketchup, chili sauce or ranch dressing for dipping. . .Lin
