Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Directions

1. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release any excess liquid. Then, squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel.
2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped green onions, beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
4. Take about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a small patty or cake. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
5. Working in batches, carefully place the zucchini cakes into the hot skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
6. Transfer the cooked zucchini cakes to a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.
7. Serve the zucchini cakes warm with a side of sour cream, ranch dressing, or any dipping sauce of your choice.
8. Enjoy the delicious zucchini cakes as an appetizer, side dish, or main course!
