Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 1 small red bell pepper
- 3 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, for cooking olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Finely dice the red bell pepper and chop the green onions and parsley.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrot, bell pepper, green onions, parsley, flour, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat a griddle or large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Scoop 1/4 cup of the veggie mixture and form it into a patty shape. Place the patty onto the hot griddle. Repeat with the remaining mixture, working in batches if necessary.
Cook the veggie cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the griddle as needed.
Transfer the cooked veggie cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Serve the griddle veggie cakes warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or a side salad.
