Crispy. Savory. Vegetable-y. These zucchini cakes are a great new way to use up some of those easy-to-grow garden gems.
Wash and cut the ends off of one large zucchini. Shred it using the large holes of a cheese grater. Squeeze the shredded zucchini inside of a clean towel until you’ve removed as much liquid as possible.
Place shredded zucchini into a medium-sized bowl. Add minced garlic, breadcrumbs, cheese, eggs, salt and pepper. Stir with a fork until well mixed.
Heat olive oil (about 1/4″ deep in bottom of skillet) to a medium heat. When the oil is hot enough, drop a glob of the zucchini batter into the skillet and flatten it a little bit with a fork. After about two minutes, turn the cakes over (they should be a nice, golden-brown) and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes until done.
Serve with dipping sauce of your choice.

I’ve made these a few times now – always makes me look forward to when zucchini is in season! Yummy!

I added about one half teaspoon of cumin to these for some extra kick. I then took them over to my fam for Sunday football and my dad said I’m not allowed to show up to any more family gatherings without them. Thanks for the great recipe!

These are fantastic. I had so much zucchini I made two batches, one as cakes and another batch using a mini-muffin tin. Came out great!
Served with store bought Greek tzatziki and hummus. To die for.
