Zucchini Patties
These Zucchini Patties are a fantastic way to use up those garden-fresh zucchinis. They are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for kids and adults alike, they make a great addition to any meal!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- Oil for frying (such as olive oil or vegetable oil)
Instructions
- Begin by grating the zucchinis and placing them in a large bowl. To remove excess moisture, sprinkle with salt and let them sit for about 10-15 minutes. Afterward, squeeze the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel to remove any remaining water.
- In the same bowl, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a couple of tablespoons of oil. Once hot, scoop about a quarter cup of the zucchini mixture, form it into a patty, and place it in the skillet. Repeat this step until the skillet is full, ensuring not to overcrowd the patties.
- Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
- Repeat the frying process with the remaining mixture, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
- Serve the crispy Zucchini Patties warm with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them on their own. They make a perfect appetizer, snack, or side dish!
