Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 ½ cups (368 g) finely shredded zucchini
1 large egg
1/2 cup (49 g) shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup (20 g) pork rind breadcrumbs ( or panko breadcrumbs)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add shredded zucchini to a large mixing bowl. Salt and let it sit about 10-15 minutes to draw out the moisture from the zucchini. (Salting is optional but it does help draw out some of the moisture.) After the 10-15 minutes, drain out the water and then wring dry the zucchini with a cheesecloth or similar type cloth. You should be left with 1 packed cup (141 g) of zucchini.
  • Add zucchini, egg and cheese into your mixing bowl. Stir and mix until completely combined.
  • Fill a 1/4 cup measuring cup with the zucchini mixture. Press down to compact it. Flip the cup over onto your prepared baking sheet. The mixture should slide out and should still hold the cup form. Gently press down on mixture with your fingers or hand to flatten it to about 1/2 inch thick and shape it into an oval or rectangle of whatever shape you prefer your hash browns to be. Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture.
  • Sprinkle breadcrumbs over the surface of each hash brown, coating the surface of the hash browns in a layer of breadcrumbs. See notes regarding how thick the layer should be.
  • Place hash browns into oven and cook for about 20-23 minutes or until zucchini is cooked and breadcrumbs are golden. If you are using pork rind breadcrumbs, they may appear to be too wet at first, but once they are out of the oven and given a few minutes to cool, they should crisp back up. If you are using panko breadcrumbs, they should not appear wet. Let hash browns cool a few minutes so that they are set before removing them off the baking sheet. Serve while still warm. Uneaten hash browns can be kept in the fridge or freezer.

HASH BROWNS ZUCCHINI



Hash Browns Zucchini image

Are you on a low carb diet? Miss those hash browned potatoes with your eggs in the morning? Here's a great substitute!

Provided by yooper

Categories     Breakfast

Time 21m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/2 lbs zucchini
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
6 tablespoons parmesan cheese, grated
1 garlic clove (minced or pressed)
1/4 cup butter

Steps:

  • Coarsely shred zucchini (you should have about 4 cups) and combine with the salt in a medium size bowl.
  • Let stand for 15 minutes.
  • Squeeze with your hands to press out moisture.
  • Stir in eggs, cheese, and garlic.
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a wide frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Mound about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture in pan, flatten slightly to make a patty.
  • Repeat until pan is filled, but don't crowd patties in the pan.
  • Cook patties, turning once, until golden on both sides (about 6 minutes.) Remove to a serving platter and keep warm.
  • Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture and add more butter as needed.

Tips:

  • Choose the right zucchini: Look for firm, medium-sized zucchini with bright green skin. Avoid zucchini that is too large or has blemishes.
  • Shred the zucchini evenly: This will help ensure that the hash browns cook evenly. You can use a box grater or a food processor fitted with a shredding blade to shred the zucchini.
  • Squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini: This will help prevent the hash browns from becoming soggy. You can do this by placing the shredded zucchini in a colander and pressing down on it with a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Use a non-stick skillet: This will help prevent the hash browns from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the hash browns over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the hash browns carefully: Use a spatula to gently flip the hash browns so that they don't break apart.
  • Season the hash browns to taste: You can use salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, or any other seasonings that you like.

Conclusion:

Zucchini hash browns are a delicious and healthy way to use up leftover zucchini. They are easy to make and can be served for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect zucchini hash browns every time.
