Ingredients
- 3 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place it in a large bowl.
Step 2
Add the salt to the grated zucchini, mix well, and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
Step 3
Transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or a cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Discard the liquid.
Step 4
Return the zucchini to the bowl and add the egg, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture holds together.
Step 5
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter.
Step 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Step 7
Place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Step 8
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
