Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis (zoodles)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup almond flour

3 large eggs

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Olive oil spray (for greasing muffin tin)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil spray or line with parchment paper liners.

    Prepare the Zoodles: Spiralize the zucchinis using a spiralizer or a grater. If spiralizing, use the thicker blade for chunkier zoodles. Place the zoodles in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.

      Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

        Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until well combined. Add the squeezed zoodles into the egg mixture and stir until evenly coated.

          Combine Everything: Pour the zoodle mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold until everything is well incorporated. Take care not to over-mix. Gently fold in the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped basil.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Evenly spoon the zoodle mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature as a savory snack or side dish.
