Teeny Zucchini Triangular Panini’
About the Recipe: The vegetable patties are so delicious that you won’t even mind the extra steps to make them. Crisp, yet moist, they produce a tasty Panini served in triangles with tomato sauce or even ranch dressing.
Healthy Lunchtime Challenge Contest – Jude V. Age 8 New Hampshire
Jude’s Serving Suggestion: Serve with a glass of milk and if in season McIntosh apple.|
Cook’s Note: The original recipe grilled the lettuce with the tomato and patty, but we preferred it added after grilling. Another suggestion would be to add fresh spinach in place of lettuce. I used a food processor to grate the zucchini and then removed moisture from them with paper towels. I added 1 cup breadcrumbs to form my patties.

Cook’s Note: I adjusted the recipe for smaller family serving size. If you want a hotter, spicier fry, add additional half of all spices. I also added the optional sprinkle of salt after baking.
