đź“ť Ingredients
2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchini)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup grated onion or finely chopped
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (regular or panko)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or dill)
Oil for pan-frying (vegetable, olive, or avocado oil)
👩‍🍳 Instructions
1. Prep the Zucchini
Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Then, wrap the zucchini in a clean towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
2. Mix the Batter
In a large bowl, combine the drained zucchini, onion, Parmesan, breadcrumbs, eggs, garlic powder, pepper, and herbs. Mix until fully combined.
3. Form the Patties
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties. Flatten slightly with your hands.
4. Fry Until Golden
Heat 2–3 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Don’t overcrowd the pan.
5. Drain and Serve
Transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
