🥒 Easy Zucchini Patties Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis (about 2 cups grated)

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion

• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)

• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed crackers)

• 1 large egg

• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)

• 2 tablespoons flour (all-purpose or whole wheat)

• 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions:

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place it in a bowl and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.

2. Squeeze out the liquid: Use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to squeeze out as much water as possible from the zucchini.

3. Mix ingredients: In a bowl, combine the zucchini, onion, Parmesan (if using), breadcrumbs, egg, pepper, garlic powder, and flour. Mix until a sticky batter forms.

4. Form patties: Shape the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches wide).

5. Cook: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.

6. Drain and serve: Place cooked patties on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a dipping sauce of your choice.
