Italian Meatballs with Zucchini

Today I have a fun recipe for you. I’m always trying to find ways to fit in Summer vegetables to make sure I use them before they go bad. I’ve made meatballs with spinach and wondered what zucchini would taste like. They turned out really well. You couldn’t really even tell there was zucchini in them so it turned out to be more of a hidden ingredient. A great way to get in a serving of veggies. I started out by chopping up 1/2 of a zucchini in the blender and laid it out on a paper towel to dry while I mixed the other ingredients together. Add the Italian seasoning to 1/2 pound of lean ground beef. The Italian seasoning is a mix I brought from the locally grown market and consisted of basil, oregano, parsley, garlic, onion, rosemary, pepper, cayenne, and pepper. Mix the rest of your ingredients in with your meat. I added bread crumbs, onion powder, zucchini, and freshly grated parmesan. Mix all together using your hands. Make into round meatballs. I made 9 out of this batch.
