Line a 12-cup muffin tin or 24-cup mini muffin tin with muffin cup liners or parchment paper, or use a silicon muffin tray.<\/p>\n<p>Place the grated zucchini and salt in a colander and massage the salt into the zucchini for 15 seconds. Let sit for 20 minutes, then gather the zucchini in a dish towel or a fine-mesh sieve and squeeze until dry.<\/p>\n<p>In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, parmesan, almond meal, thyme, green onions, pepper, and onion powder, mixing thoroughly. Add the eggs and stir well to combine.<\/p>\n<p>Add about \u2153 cup of the mixture to each muffin cup if making standard muffins, or 2 tablespoons if making mini muffins.<\/p>\n<p>Bake regular muffins for 30 minutes or mini muffins for 20 minutes, until golden brown on top. Serve warm.<\/p>\n<p>Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Variation<\/strong>: You can replace the parmesan with either pecorino or Manchego if you would rather use a sheep cheese, for either health or flavor.<\/p>\n<p><\/div>\n<p class=\"author-credit\">Excerpted from Eat to Love by Mikaela Reuben.
