Crunchy Zucchini Stuffed Meatballs

Heat a small saute pan with enough oil to cover. Add zucchini with a pinch of salt and pepper. Saute briefly for 1 minute or until zucchini just begins to soften. Dont fully cook if a crunchy texture is desired.

Cool zucchini in fridge until chilled.

Combine all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and mix well.

Grab a few pieces of zucchini and surround with meat mixture. Roll into small balls.

Bake at 400° for approximately 20 minutes or until meatballs reach 155°.
