Ingredients
- ✓2 medium zucchini
- ✓0.8 tsp kosher salt
- ✓2 large eggs
- ✓120 ml all-purpose flour
- ✓79.2 ml grated parmesan cheese
- ✓2 medium scallions
- ✓2 cloves garlic
- ✓0.3 tsp black pepper
- ✓45 ml olive oil
Instructions
1
Toss the grated zucchini with 0.5 teaspoon of salt in a colander and let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
💡
Tip:Salting draws out excess water, ensuring your patties turn out crispy rather than soggy.
2
Transfer the zucchini into a clean dish towel or cheesecloth and wring vigorously over the sink to squeeze out as much water as possible.
💡
Tip:The drier the shreds, the crunchier the finished crust will be.
3
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, minced garlic, scallions, parmesan, flour, cracked black pepper, and remaining 0.3 teaspoon salt. Fold in the drained zucchini until evenly combined.
💡
Tip:Do not overmix; stir just until the flour is fully incorporated.
4
Heat 22.5 ml of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop mounds of batter (about 60 ml each) into the pan, lightly pressing each into a flattened disc.
💡
Tip:Avoid overcrowding the skillet to keep the oil temperature high and the edges crisp.
5
Fry for 3 to 4 minutes until deeply golden brown underneath, then flip and fry the other side for an additional 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
6
Add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and cook the rest of the batter following the same method. Serve hot with garlic yogurt or sour cream.
💡
Tip:Keep the first batch warm on a wire rack inside a 200°F (95°C) oven while finishing the rest.
📝 Chef's Notes
Best eaten immediately while crisp. Leftovers can be reheated in an air fryer or dry skillet over medium heat to restore crispiness.
