Zucchini Patties – Better Than Meat
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 medium carrot, grated
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or your favorite)
- 2 eggs
- 3–4 tablespoons chopped green onion
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: 1 clove garlic (minced) or ½ tsp garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons flour or breadcrumbs (for texture)
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions:
Prep the vegetables:
Grate the zucchinis and carrots using a coarse grater. Place the zucchini in a clean towel and squeeze out excess water. This step is important for crispy patties.
Mix the ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, cheese, eggs, green onions, garlic (if using), salt, pepper, and flour or breadcrumbs. Mix until a thick, sticky batter forms.
Form the patties:
With your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small round patties or flat disks.
Cook:
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a little olive oil.
Cook the patties for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Serve:
Serve warm with yogurt dip, sour cream, or your favorite sauce.
Storage Tips:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a pan or air fryer for crispiness.
