Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 cups packed shredded zucchini (no need to peel the zucchini)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1/4 cup panko or regular bread crumbs
1/4 tsp. dried basil (or 1-2 tsp. fresh)
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. pepper

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat with cooking spray or lightly grease an unlined baking sheet. Place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and wring out all the excess water over the sink until the zucchini is really dry. Place the zucchini and remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and mix until combined. Drop the mixture by tablespoonfuls on the prepared baking sheet and lightly press the mounds with your hands to flatten slightly. Bake for 16-20 minutes until the edges are golden.
