Zucchini Patties 😍😍

Ingredients:

• 2 cups grated zucchini
• 2 eggs, beaten
• ¼ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup all-purpose flour
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Zucchini:
   • Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the patties hold together well and aren’t too watery.
2. Combine Ingredients:
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, beaten eggs, chopped onion, all-purpose flour, and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed and form a cohesive batter.
3. Season:
   • Add salt and pepper to taste. You can also add other seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or dried herbs if you like.
4. Form Patties:
   • Using your hands or a spoon, form the mixture into small patties, about the size of a golf ball. Flatten them slightly with your hands or the back of a spoon.
5. Cook:
   • Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a little oil (such as olive oil or vegetable oil) to the pan. Once the oil is hot, add the zucchini patties to the skillet. Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
6. Serve:
   • Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as is.

Tips:

• These zucchini patties can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or even as a main course with a salad.
• For a vegan version, you can substitute the eggs with a flaxseed or chia seed egg replacer and the Parmesan cheese with a vegan cheese alternative.
• You can also add other vegetables like grated carrots or chopped bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrition.

Enjoy your delicious Zucchini Patties! 😍😍
