These Crispy Parmesan Zucchini Cakes are a delicious and hassle-free way to include veggies in your meal. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and packed with mouthwatering flavors.
Place grated zucchini in a colander over the sink.
2
Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the zucchini and gently toss to combine. Let sit for 10 minutes to release moisture.
3
Using a clean dish towel or cheese cloth, firmly squeeze the zucchini to drain out as much liquid as possible.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan, minced garlic, beaten egg, and freshly ground black pepper.
5
Heat olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
6
Scoop tablespoons of zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten with a spatula to create the zucchini cakes. Cook until the underside is golden brown, about 3-4 minutes.
7
Flip the zucchini cakes and cook on the other side for about 3-4 minutes more, until golden brown and crispy.
8
Remove the zucchini cakes from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil. Serve hot.
