Ingredients
1 medium zucchini, grated
1 lb ground beef (or turkey)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup marinara sauce (optional)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional)
Directions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with silicone baking cups.
Grate the zucchini and then using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out the excess moisture. This step is crucial to ensure your meatloaf cups hold together and aren’t too watery.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix everything well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing down slightly to pack each cup.
If using, spoon a bit of marinara sauce on top of each meatloaf cup and sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the meatloaf cups are cooked through and the tops are golden brown.

Let them cool for a few minutes before removing from the muffin tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
