These were a really fun side. Great new way to eat zucchini in my opinion. Yum. (Sadly my zucchini hating husband wasn't home to give an opinion, but both of the big boys loved these.)
Update - 10/21 - Made these again. This time my zucchini was much more wet. It does benefit from the drying. It was also a lot smaller - maybe 1 1/2 cups shredded. I used 1 egg, 1 T egg substitute, 3/8 cup panko, 3/8 cup feta, 1 teaspoon dill, 1 teaspoon parsley (dried for both) 2 teaspoons dried onions (I was in a hurry can you tell.) It was still great, I thought it was a bit heavy on the dill though.
Ingredients
- 1 medium zucchini, shedded (about 2 -2 1/2 cups)
- 1/2 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2-4 green onions (I only used 1, but then tossed in some dehydrated onion as well.)
- 2 eggs
- 2 Tablespoons minced fresh parsley (purposely made this less)
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 cup feta
- 1-2 Tablespoons olive oil, divided
Directions
- In a sieve or colander, drain zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry. (My zucchini wasn't super wet or anything. I shredded it with the thicker side of my food processor. I put it in a colander, and pushed down on it with a paper towel, but it didn't do much.)
- In a small bowl, combine eggs, bread crumbs, onions, parsley, dill, and garlic. Stir in zucchini and cheese.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using more oil as needed.
