Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups grated zucchini ((about 3 or 4 depending on size))
1 cup provolone cheese ( shredded (or mozzarella))
½ cup Parmesan cheese ( grated)
½ cup breadcrumbs ((I used Panko))
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 medium onion (finely chopped)
2 tablespoon dill (chopped)
2 large eggs (beaten)
⅛ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoon vegetable oil (for frying)

Steps:

  • Line a big bowl with paper towels. Grate the zucchini in the prepared bowl, do one zucchini at a time, then strain all of the water from them using paper towels. Alternatively, you can place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, and add about a tsp of salt to the zucchini. Gently toss, then using paper towels, drain the zucchini.
  • In a large bowl add the grated zucchini, provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, onion, dill, eggs and season with salt and pepper. I usually don't add any salt because there should be enough sodium from the cheese. Mix really well.
  • In a skillet heat about a tablespoon of the vegetable oil. You can either form patties or use a spoon to drop small amounts of the zucchini mixtures to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown, then repeat with remaining zucchini mixture/patties.
  • Serve warm by themselves or with ranch dressing.

I LOVE zucchini and this recipe in particular. I am posting the original recipe from Allrecipes.com with my initial adjustments. However, it is extremely versatile! I have made it tossing in shredded carrots, shredded Summer Squash, corn, peppers, different cheeses, and various spices! It has been a winner EVERY TIME! These are...

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups grated zucchini (or various vegetables; carrots, corn, etc)
salt
2 eggs, beaten
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • 1. Spread zucchini. Lay out on paper towels or in a colander (with a bowl under it), sprinkle zucchini with salt and let rest for at least 30 minutes (I get best results when I let it sit for several hours). This step pulls out excess moisture from the zucchini/squash.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini, eggs, onion, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese (add seasoning at this time as well if you desire).
  • 3. Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drop zucchini mixture by heaping tablespoonfuls, and cook for a few minutes on each side until golden.
