Zucchini Cakes

I was looking for another way to use the surplus of zucchini from our garden, when I came across this recipe. I was surprised at how much they actually taste like crab cakes. Even my husband, who doesn't like zucchini, raved about this dish!

Categories     Vegetable

Time 18m

Yield 4 cakes, 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 cups zucchini (peeled and grated)
1 cup breadcrumbs (seasoned or plain)
1/4 cup yellow onions or 1/4 cup red onion, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter, melted
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
fresh ground pepper, to taste
canola oil or olive oil, for frying
cayenne pepper (optional, for a little extra spice)

Steps:

  • Spread grated zucchini on a kitchen towel and roll up. Twist towel to wring out as much liquid as possible. If you fail to do this, your cakes will be too wet.
  • In a large bowl, combine zucchini and butter. Stir in bread crumbs, onion, Old Bay, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly to combine.
  • Coat your hands in oil, and shape mixture into patties. Coat each patty in flour. In skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry patties until golden brown on both sides. (About 3-5 min per side).
