Description

This crispy zucchini cake recipe pan-fries the cakes until golden brown — serve as a side dish or used in place of a burger for vegetarian sandwiches.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups unpeeled shredded zucchini
1 large egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 cup panko bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

1 Combine zucchini, egg, and melted butter in a large bowl; stir in panko, green onions, seasoned salt, and red pepper flakes until well combined.
2 Place flour in a shallow dish; set aside. Shape zucchini mixture into 5 palm-sized patties; dredge in flour to coat.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add patties; fry until golden brown and crispy, about 5 minutes per side.
