Not as sweet as a cookie, they taste buttery, cheesy, and a hint of garlic. These biscuits are perfect for breakfast, lunch, and even dinner, and are a fun way to use up your surplus zucchini in season. They’re also a clever way to add some vegetables to a snack without anyone noticing!

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to peel the zucchini before grating it ?
No, the skin is soft and adds color, texture, and nutrition, so you can leave it on.
How do I stop the biscuits from turning soggy ?
Make sure you squeeze the zucchini really well to remove excess water before mixing it into the dough.
Can I use other cheeses instead of Parmesan ?
Definitely! Cheddar, mozzarella, or feta all work well.
Can I make the biscuits smaller or larger ?
Yes! Just adjust the baking time. Smaller ones bake quicker, larger ones need more time.
