Instructions

Start by grating your zucchini using the larger holes on a box grater. If you have a bigger zucchini, make sure to remove any large seeds with a spoon.

Sprinkle the shredded zucchini with salt and let it rest in a colander for about 5-10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.

Squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

In a bowl, mix the zucchini with the egg, cheese, breadcrumbs, green onion, flour, and baking powder until well combined.

Shape the mixture into four patties, each about 3-inches across.

In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the zucchini patties.

Cook each patty for 3 to 5 minutes per side until they're a deep, golden brown.
