Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing or lining it with paper liners.
  2. Grate the zucchini and potato, then squeeze out excess moisture using a kitchen towel.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and olive oil until creamy.
Mixing
  1. Fold in the grated zucchini and potato along with the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Stir until just combined, being careful not to over-mix.
Baking
  1. Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full and sprinkle breadcrumbs on top.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Serving
  1. Cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Optionally garnish with parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out excess moisture from the vegetables for a crispy texture. Fresh breadcrumbs yield better results than stale ones.
