- Grate the zucchini finely and squeeze out excess moisture with a clean towel to prevent the meatballs from becoming soggy.
- Chill the meatball mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before forming and cooking to help them hold their shape better.
- Use a cookie scoop to evenly portion the meatballs for uniform cooking.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture to keep them tender and moist.
- If you prefer a different level of spice, adjust the amount of red pepper according to your taste.
- Serve with a fresh salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a complete meal.
