Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini:
Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is important to avoid soggy patties. - Mix Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, salt, flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped onion, beaten eggs, black pepper, oregano, and parsley. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated. - Form Patties:
Scoop about 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties with your hands. You can make them as big or small as you like. - Heat Oil:
Heat a generous amount of olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. - Cook Patties:
Carefully place the patties in the hot oil. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. - Drain and Serve:
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. - Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish. They go great with tzatziki, sour cream, or even ketchup!
