- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

- Place zucchini in a colander or strainer set over a bowl and sprinkle a pinch of salt over the top; let liquid drain from zucchini for 1 hour. Press zucchini with a paper towel to remove any excess liquid.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a mini-muffin pan with cooking spray.
- Stir zucchini, bread crumbs, Cheddar cheese, onion, eggs, black pepper, oregano, basil, 1/4 teaspoon salt, rosemary, garlic powder, and sage together in a large bowl. Spoon zucchini mixture into prepared muffin cups, filling each cup and flattening mixture to be even with the top of the muffin pan.
