Journey Spice Co Italian Zucchini Bacon Triangles

Italian Zucchini Bacon Triangles

These Italian Zucchini Bacon Triangles make a delicious appetizer for holiday gatherings like Thanksgiving or when you are craving a crunchy and tasty snack. One of the good things about this recipe is that it uses phyllo dough, which contains significantly less fat and saturated fat than other store-bought dough like puff pastry dough. Like many recipes, it can easily be made plant-based or vegan-friendly by substituting plant-based ingredients.

Prep Time: 25-30 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. Journey Spice Co. Organic Pizza Seasoning

8 oz. of phyllo dough

2 ½ cups zucchini, shredded

2 ½ cups shredded parmesan cheese or mozzarella cheese or a combination of both (dairy or plant-based/vegan-friendly varieties both work great in this recipe).

1 ½ cups bacon, sliced into small squares (regular or a plant-based variety like seitan bacon can be used).

Extra virgin olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Follow the instructions on your phyllo dough package. You will probably need to thaw the dough at room temperature for a few hours before getting started.
  2. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.
  3. Spray two large baking sheets with extra virgin olive oil spray.
  4. Mix Journey Spice Co. Organic Pizza Seasoning, cheese, bacon, and zucchini in a large bowl.
  5. Carefully spread one sheet of phyllo dough onto a large work surface.
  6. Lightly spray the entire surface of the phyllo dough with extra virgin olive oil spray.
  7. Place a second piece of the phyllo dough on top of the first piece and gently press it together with the first piece.
  8. Gently cut the pieces of phyllo dough into four even pieces.
  9. Place about a tablespoon of the mixture at the bottom of a phyllo slice and fold the piece of dough in the shape of a triangle, similar to how a flag is folded.
  10. Once the piece is completed, fold and lightly spray with more extra virgin olive oil spray. Place the piece onto one of the oven sheets.
  11. Repeat until all of the dough is used.
  12. Bake the triangles in your oven for about 20. Since Ovens vary, check to ensure they are not burning at the 15-minute mark.
