🛒 Ingredients

2 medium zucchini, grated
1 small carrot, grated (optional)
2 eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour)
⅓ cup crumbled feta cheese or grated parmesan
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dill, chopped
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
½ teaspoon paprika
2–3 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prepare the zucchini
Grate the zucchini and place it in a bowl. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let sit for 10 minutes. Squeeze out as much excess water as possible using a clean towel.

In a large bowl combine the squeezed zucchini, carrot, eggs, flour, feta cheese, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, and paprika. Mix until well combined.
Shape patties

Cook
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry patties for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
Drain & serve
Place cooked patties on paper towels to remove excess oil.
