How To Make zucchini bites

Step 1

Stir together blue cheese, Parmesan, basil, garlic & herb, garlic pepper, onion powder.

Step 2

Cut ZUCCHINI into ½-3/4 inch rounds. Using a small melon baller or a very small spoon, scoop out center portion of zucchini. Don’t scoop all the way through making a total do-nut hole. Leave the bottom of zucchini intact.
Step 3

Place Zucchini rounds on parchment paper on cookie sheet or baking stone
Step 4

Spoon BLUE CHEESE mixture into Zucchini hole.
Step 5

Top each piece of ZUCCHINI w/the chopped TOMATO.
Step 6

Sprinkle W/ EXTRA GRATED CHEESE.
Step 7

Bake 7 minutes @ 400 Yields 35 zuccchini pieces
Step 8

1 piece = 19 cal, 1g fat, 1g saturated fat, 3 mg cholesterol, 58 mg sodium, 1 g carbohydrates, 1 g protein (if you use regular Parmesan cheese)
Step 9
