Ingredients:

1/2 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
60g
2 tbsp vegetable oil
27g
1/4 cup onion
40g
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese
54g
1 tsp salt
6g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
50g
2 cups zucchini
390g
2 eggs
110g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchini. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This will help in preventing the patties from being too soggy.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, shredded mozzarella cheese, grated parmesan cheese, and lightly beaten eggs. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly incorporated.
3. Add Flour and Seasoning: Add the all-purpose white wheat flour and salt to the mixture. Stir well to ensure an even distribution of the flour. The mixture should be somewhat thick and capable of holding a patty shape.
4. Form Patties: Using a tablespoon or your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and form them into small, round patties. Flatten them slightly to ensure even cooking.
5. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the patties by dropping a small bit of the mixture into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
6. Cook Patties: Place the patties in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Adjust the heat if necessary to avoid burning.
7. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, transfer the patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
8. Serve: Serve the zucchini parmesan patties hot. They can be enjoyed on their own, with a dipping sauce, or as a side dish.

Tips:

- Ensure to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini before mixing it with other ingredients. This helps in keeping the patties firm and crispy.

- For added flavor, consider incorporating spices such as garlic powder, black pepper, or fresh herbs like parsley or basil into the mixture.

- Use a non-stick skillet and heat the oil until it’s shimmering but not smoking before adding the patties. This helps to achieve a nice, golden-brown crust.

- If you find the mixture too wet, you can add a little more flour to help bind the ingredients together.

- Serve the patties with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or your favorite dipping sauce for an extra layer of flavor.
