Parmesan Zucchini Potato Muffins: A Savory Twist on Comfort Food


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

• 1 cup shredded zucchini (about 1 small), squeezed dry
• 1 cup shredded russet potato (about 1 medium), squeezed dry
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup olive oil or melted butter
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus extra for topping)
• ½ cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free 1:1 blend)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp onion powder
• ¼ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• Optional: ¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, or dill)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and olive oil.
  3. Add zucchini, potato, and Parmesan. Mix well.
  4. In another bowl, combine flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
  5. Stir dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Fold in fresh herbs if using.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups (about ¾ full). Top with extra Parmesan.
  7. Bake 20–25 minutes, until golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
  8. Let cool 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack.

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or marinara sauce for dipping!

💡 Make ahead: These reheat beautifully in the oven or air fryer. Freeze cooled muffins for up to 2 months.
