Zucchini Biscuits (Parmesan Herb)

Delight in the warm, comforting aroma of freshly baked Zucchini Biscuits with Parmesan and Herbs. These savory biscuits are wonderfully soft and buttery, perfect as a side for soups or salads.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 and 1/4 cups shredded zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided
  • 2 and 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold & cubed
  • 2 Tablespoons chopped fresh basil
  • 1 Tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 cup buttermilk, cold, optional
  • Flaky sea salt for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the shredded zucchini by combining it with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and letting it sit for 10 minutes. Drain the excess moisture with paper towels.
  3. Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl: whisk together flour, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, baking powder, baking soda, garlic powder, and black pepper.
  4. Cut in the cold, cubed butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  5. Fold in the drained zucchini and chopped herbs until just combined.
  6. Add buttermilk gradually, stirring until the dough comes together. Adjust with more buttermilk if too crumbly.
  7. Shape the dough into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheets.
  8. Sprinkle each biscuit with flaky sea salt.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are golden brown.
  10. Cool on a wire rack before serving warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a more intense flavor, consider adding additional herbs or smoked paprika. Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
