Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor and place the shredded zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
Squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible from the zucchini. This step is crucial to ensure the hash browns are crispy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, egg, all-purpose flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with the oil.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture into the skillet for each hash brown and flatten them gently with a spatula into a patty shape.
Cook the hash browns for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding additional olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Transfer cooked hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm as a breakfast side dish or enjoy on their own with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce!
