These easy zucchini patties or fritters are flavored with Parmesan cheese and herbs. A small amount of mayonnaise goes into the batter as well. The batter is a snap to prepare, and they are cooked like pancakes. Serve these zucchini pancakes with some sour cream, salsa, or a savory spread like hummus.

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups grated raw zucchini

  • 2 tablespoons minced onion, or sliced green onions

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, fresh is best

  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 large eggs

  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

  • 1/4 teaspoon oregano

  • Salt, to taste

  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

Steps to Make It

  1. Gather the ingredients.

  2. Press excess moisture out of grated zucchini between paper towels. Combine everything but the butter to make the batter; mix to blend thoroughly.

  3. Melt butter over medium heat in a large skillet or sauté pan.

  4. When the butter is hot and foaming, spoon batter (about 2 heaping tablespoons per patty) into skillet. Flatten lightly with a spatula. 

  5. Cook over medium heat until nicely browned on both sides. Serve plain or top with tomato sauce and grated cheese. 

  6. Serve and enjoy.
