Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchinis

• 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

1. Grate the zucchinis and carrots using a grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
2. Cook the bacon in a skillet until crispy. Remove from the skillet and let it cool. Crumble the bacon into small pieces.
3. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchinis, carrots, bacon, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
4. Add the beaten eggs to the mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated.
5. Form the mixture into patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
6. 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.
7. Remove the patties from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve the zucchini carrot patties with bacon hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or on a bun as a burger.
