### Instructions:
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Vegetables**
Start by preparing your vegetables. Wash and chop the broccoli into small florets, then finely chop or pulse them in a food processor. Grate the carrot and zucchini using a box grater or food processor, and finely chop the red bell pepper and onions. The goal is to have all the veggies in small, uniform pieces so they cook evenly and fit together nicely in the bites.
#### **Step 2: Sauté the Veggies**
Heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the onions, bell pepper, and garlic, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until softened and fragrant. Then add the broccoli, carrot, and zucchini, stirring frequently to combine. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, allowing the veggies to soften and any excess moisture to evaporate. Remove from heat and let the veggie mixture cool slightly.
#### **Step 3: Mix the Ingredients**
In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Add the cooked vegetable mixture to the eggs along with the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese (if using), oregano, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined. The mixture should be firm enough to hold its shape. If it’s too loose, you can add a bit more breadcrumbs to get the right consistency.
#### **Step 4: Form the Bites**
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil. Using your hands or a spoon, scoop out small amounts of the veggie mixture and form them into balls or patties, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each bite.
#### **Step 5: Bake the Savory Bites**
Bake the veggie bites for 20-25 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside. The baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so keep an eye on them to make sure they don’t burn.
#### **Step 6: Serve and Enjoy**
Once baked, remove the savory veggie bites from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve them as a healthy snack or as part of a meal. These bites are great on their own or paired with a dipping sauce like hummus, tzatziki, or a tangy yogurt-based dip.
### Tips for Making the Perfect Veggie Bites:
1. **Use a Variety of Veggies**: Feel free to swap out any of the vegetables based on what you have on hand or what’s in season. Spinach, peas, or sweet potatoes are great additions to the mix!
2. **Make It Gluten-Free**: For a gluten-free option, substitute the breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs or oat flour. You can also use almond flour for a lower-carb alternative.
3. **Add Herbs and Spices**: Customize the flavor of these veggie bites by adding your favorite herbs and spices. Fresh basil, thyme, or cumin can add an extra layer of flavor to the bites.
4. **Make Them Ahead**: These veggie bites are perfect for meal prepping. You can make a large batch, refrigerate them, and bake them later in the week. They also freeze well, so you can keep some on hand for busy days.
