Instructions:
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin pan or line it with silicone baking cups.
Step 2
Remove excess moisture from the grated zucchini by squeezing it with a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground meat, grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Fill each muffin cup halfway with the meatloaf mixture, pressing down gently to compact.
Optional: Top each meatloaf cup with shredded mozzarella cheese and a dollop of marinara sauce.
Step 5
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the meatloaf cups are cooked through and golden brown on top.
Step 6
Allow the meatloaf cups to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the muffin pan. Serve hot and enjoy!
