Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Grated zucchini
- 1 cup Grated carrot
- 1 small Finely chopped onion
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible. Transfer the drained zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
Add the grated carrot, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are combined and the mixture holds together when compressed.
Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get roughly 8-10 patties.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties to the skillet in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. If necessary, cook in batches and add a little more oil to the pan as needed.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of yogurt dipping sauce, salad, or your favorite condiment. Enjoy!
