Zucchini Parmesan Meatloaf Cups are one of those delightful recipes that blend the comfort of a classic meatloaf with a modern twist. They’re super handy for portion control and make a fantastic weeknight dinner or meal prep option. I originally stumbled upon this idea during one of those weeks when I had an abundance of zucchini from the garden and a craving for something hearty but not too heavy. These meatloaf cups are packed with flavor, thanks to the juicy zucchini and a generous sprinkle of Parmesan cheese. Plus, they’re fun to make and serve, especially if you have little ones who enjoy eating with their hands.
These meatloaf cups pair beautifully with a fresh, crisp salad on the side, like a simple arugula and cherry tomato mix. Roasted vegetables, such as carrots and bell peppers, add a nice touch of sweetness and color to the plate. And if you’re in the mood for some carbs, garlic mashed potatoes or a side of quinoa would complement these cups perfectly. Don’t forget a squeeze of lemon or a dollop of your favorite marinara sauce for an extra zing of flavor.
