Ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- ¼ cup finely chopped onion
- Salt, to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions:
Step 1: Prepare the Zucchini
Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with a little salt and let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture. Squeeze out the liquid using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and chopped onion. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
Step 3: Heat the Oil
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
Step 4: Shape the Patties
Scoop 2–3 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a patty. Flatten slightly for even cooking.
Step 5: Fry the Patties
Place the patties in the hot skillet and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Flip carefully to avoid breaking them.
Step 6: Drain and Serve
Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream, tomato sauce, or a fresh salad.
