Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchini, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 eggs, beate
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Instructions
 

  • Rinse and grate the zucchini, then squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.
  • In a large bowl, mix the grated zucchini with minced garlic, beaten eggs, breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture into the skillet and flatten slightly.
  • Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  • Repeat until all the mixture is cooked, then let cool for a couple of minutes before serving.

Notes

Be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini for a crispier texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
