Description

This easy zucchini cakes recipe features pan-fried cakes made with seafood seasoning and crusted with bread crumbs. They taste a lot like crab cakes.

Ingredients

2 cups shredded zucchini, squeezed dry
1 1/4 cups seasoned bread crumbs, divided
1 small onion, chopped
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 teaspoons seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or as needed

Directions

1 Combine zucchini, 1 cup bread crumbs, onion, beaten eggs, melted butter, parsley, and seafood seasoning in a large bowl; form into 4 round cakes.
2 Pat remaining ¼ cup bread crumbs onto both sides of cakes; transfer to a waxed paper-lined baking sheet. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
3 Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini cakes; cook until browned, 7 to 8 minutes per side. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate before serving.
