Zucchini Patties
Ingredients
2 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs, beaten
¼ cup chopped onion
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
2–3 tbsp oil (for frying)
Instructions
Prep the zucchini:
Place grated zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible (this is key for crispy patties).
Mix the batter:
In a bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, onion, flour, Parmesan, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Stir until well combined (mixture should hold together).
Heat the pan:
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Form & cook:
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of mixture per patty into the pan.
Flatten slightly with a spatula.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain & serve:
Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
