Ingredients

4 servings
  • 1 medium zucchini (12 ounce)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or chedddar cheese)
  • ¼ cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 g reen onion ( thinly sliced)
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps

  1. Start by grating your zucchini using the larger holes on a box grater. If you have a bigger zucchini, make sure to remove any large seeds with a spoon.

  2. Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt and let it rest in a colander for about 5-10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

  3. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

  4. In a bowl, mix the zucchini with the egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, green onion, flour, and baking powder until well combined.

  5. Shape the mixture into four patties, each about 3-inches across.

  6. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the zucchini patties.

  7. Cook each patty for 3 to 5 minutes per side until they're a deep, golden brown.
