Zucchini Patties – Better Than Meat!

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs or panko
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (like parsley or dill)
  • Olive oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchinis and place them in a colander. Sprinkle with salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. After 10 minutes, squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, chopped onion, Parmesan, bread crumbs, flour, beaten egg, garlic powder, pepper, and herbs. Mix until well combined.
  4. Heat a few tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  5. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small patties.
  6. Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Remove and drain on a paper towel. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad!
