Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 2 medium carrots
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil, for frying
Directions
- Grate the zucchinis and carrots using a grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
- Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it cool. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, carrots, bacon, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
- Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
- Form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the patties in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the zucchini carrot patties with bacon hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or on a bun as a burger.
