There’s something incredibly satisfying about transforming humble ingredients into a dish that bursts with flavor and texture. Zucchini patties do just that—they’re crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and loaded with cheesy goodness. Whether you’re looking for a delicious appetizer, a side dish, or even a vegetarian main course, these patties fit the bill perfectly. The combination of zucchini, Parmesan, and Mozzarella creates a savory treat that’s hard to resist. Let’s dive into the magic of making these delightful zucchini patties!
Ingredients:
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ¼ cup chopped onion
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- Salt to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions:
- Prepare the Zucchini Mixture:
- In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, beaten eggs, chopped onion, flour, Parmesan cheese, Mozzarella cheese, and salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. This mixture should be moist and well-combined to form cohesive patties.
- Cook the Patties:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of the zucchini mixture into the pan; it should sizzle immediately.
- Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet. Flatten each one with a spatula to form a patty shape.
- Cook the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and crispy. You may need to adjust the heat to ensure the patties cook evenly without burning.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the patties are golden and cooked through, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm, garnished with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan cheese or a dollop of sour cream if desired. These zucchini patties pair beautifully with a side salad or as a tasty addition to a main course.
