  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, shredded
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley or dill)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Shred the zucchinis, sprinkle with salt, and let sit for 15-20 minutes to draw out moisture. Squeeze out excess liquid.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the squeezed zucchini with breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of mixture onto the baking sheet, flattening each to form patties.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.

Notes

  • Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
  • Squeeze out as much moisture from zucchinis as possible.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture.
