Servings: 5
Cooking Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- cup minced onion
- 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning TM
- cup all-purpose flour
- cup vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Step 1: In a large bowl, combine grated zucchini, beaten egg, and melted butter (or margarine). Stir well to combine.
Step 2: Add seasoned bread crumbs, minced onion, and Old Bay Seasoning. Mix all ingredients together until evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Shape the mixture into small patties, making sure they are compact but not too thick.
Step 4: Dredge each patty in flour, ensuring they are lightly coated on all sides.
Step 5: In a medium skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot. Fry the patties in the oil until they are golden brown on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side.
Step 6: Remove the patties from the skillet and drain on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
