Ingredients:

2 medium zucchinis, grated

2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated

1 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup breadcrumbs

2 large eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil (for greasing)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use paper liners.

Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm.

Tips for the Best Crispy Muffins

Drain Excess Moisture – Zucchini and potatoes release a lot of water, which can prevent your muffins from crisping up. After shredding, squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.

Use a Muffin Tin with Oil – Grease your muffin tin generously or use silicone liners to ensure a crispy exterior. You can also lightly brush the tops with oil for extra crunch.

Don’t Overload with Cheese – While cheese adds great flavor, too much can make the muffins too soft. Stick to the recommended amount to maintain crispiness.

Bake at a High Temperature – Baking at around 400°F (200°C) ensures a golden brown, crispy texture.

Let Them Cool Slightly – Allow the muffins to set for a few minutes after baking. This helps them firm up, making them easier to remove from the tin.
