Hi, Everyone! I hope you all had a great weekend and are enjoying the beginning of the summer! It’s been a crazy one here so far, with a tornado warning last week and heavy rain most nights, I’m hoping this isn’t what the rest of the summer is going to be like! I’m ready for some warm, no-clouds-in-the-sky beach days! I have another quick and easy summer recipe to share with you today – Zucchini Patties! This is definitely my favorite way to use fresh zucchini, you only need a couple of ingredients and these are so quick and easy to whip up for a delicious appetizer or side dish.

ZUCCHINI PATTIES
*Makes 6*
.
YOU WILL NEED
2 cups grated zucchini (one medium sized zucchini)
1/2 small onion, finely diced
1 large egg
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Salt and Pepper
Olive oil
*You could add garlic or herbs for some extra flavor

DIRECTIONS
.
1. To make these zucchini patties, grate the zucchini, then pat it dry with some paper towels (try to get as much of the moisture out as possible, without mushing up the zucchini). Place all the grated zucchini in a bowl, and add in the finely diced onion, Parmesan cheese (you can add in whatever cheese you like), the egg and flour and stir well. Season with salt and pepper.
.
2. Heat the olive oil in a large pan and using a 1/4 cup measure, drop the zucchini batter into your pan, patting it down a little with a spatula. Cook on medium heat for about 2 – 3 minutes on each side, or until you get a nice, golden brown crust on the outside and the patties have cooked on the inside. Let cool for a couple of minutes before eating.

Have a great Monday, Everyone!
These look and sound delicious!
Thanks, Kate!

Thanks, Kelly! Hope you enjoy them!
Delicious recipe, I remember something similar when I was a child they also used the orange flower as well.
Thanks, Lisa!
My niece loves zucchini any way. I am going to make this for her.
Thank you, hope your niece loves these! 🙂
This recipe couldn’t have come at a better time! My daughter has tons of zucchini and I am a zucchini nut!
Looks delish! Going to pin it too!
Happy HUgs-

Awesome! I love making veggies into patties. They get transformed into something that doesn’t exactly taste healthy…
Crossing my fingers over here for beautiful summer day too!
These look so delicious! Thanks for linking these up… yummy!
I need to try these! I can always use a new, yummy zucchini recipe:)
Very nice! I did some poking around on the internet to see which herbs were frequently used with zucchini, and wound up adding in some fresh parsley. These were easy to make and held together nicely when cooking. Thanks!
Thanks for sharing this recipe, I love squash, but I prepare zucchini more frequent, these look so yummy, I know I’ll be making them Tuesday as a side dish.
Delicious looking recipe, I’m going to give it a go when my courgettes come into harvest. Do you think they would freeze if I make double? Thanks Max ?
Hi Max! I’m not sure that these would freeze well, I worry that they would get a little soggy if frozen… but you could always try to freeze a couple and see if it works! Hope they turn out great! Thanks so much for stopping by, hope you have a great weekend!
Im going to add a little grated carrot with mine
This was a very good recipe for the zucchini .

Looks delicious but I’m wondering if I can bake these instead. Has anyone tried it? If not, I’ll let you know how it works.
Hi Maria, I’ve never baked these, but let me know if it works! Thanks so much for stopping by!
These were quite tasty. I followed the recipe and also took the suggestion at the bottom and added garlic and some herbs (basil & dill). Also gently crisped under a low broil. Yum!
Wondering where I went wrong. The cakes were tasty but didn’t stay together very well. I followed the recipe exactly. It wasn’t like pancake batter, much more crumbly and dry. Appreciate your input and/or recommendations. I’d like to keep this one on my rotation. 😉
