Cooking Tips

For a dairy-free version, substitute mozzarella cheese with your favorite dairy-free cheese alternative. To store leftovers, place the zucchini bites in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or an air fryer to regain crispiness before serving. These bites can also be served with spicy marinara sauce or pesto for a flavor twist.
