Ingredients
-
2 cups grated zucchini
-
2 large eggs, beaten
-
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
-
1/4 cup chopped onion
-
Salt to taste
-
2 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
-
Use a clean towel to squeeze out as much water as possible from the grated zucchini.
-
In a bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, flour, Parmesan, mozzarella, onion, and salt. Mix into a thick batter.
-
Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
-
Drop heaping tablespoons of batter into the pan, flatten slightly, and fry for about 2 minutes per side until golden.
-
Remove to paper towels or a wire rack. Serve hot and crispy.
Notes
Don’t peel the zucchini—the skin adds great texture.
Let patties rest on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
Flavor boosters: garlic powder, chopped herbs like dill or parsley.
Try baking or air-frying for a lighter version.
