Zucchini Cakes














There seems to be zucchini everywhere right now. David and I usually just slice it up with yellow squash but I got kind of burnt out on that. So I decided to switch it up and try something new. I'm a huge fan of crab cakes so I figured lets try zucchini cakes ;)

They were oh so easy to make and were Delish!

Recipe
1 mamajama zucchini
1/2 cup parm. cheese or some sort of blend (I used parm. and mozz)
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3-4 pressed garlic cloves
sea salt and black pepper

Grate the zucchini. Wrap the shreds up in a towel and squeeze. I didn't realize zucchini's were so juicy. All of that water would make it pretty soggy so squeeze squeeze squeeze. After that add all of the ingredients and mix. The recipe I read online (sorry...can't remember where I found it) said to heat up a skillet with at least an inch of oil. Not necessary unless you like the extra fat. I was good with just a little coating. Cook each side for about 2 min. and Voila...perfecto!

See...I told you-easy peasy :)
