Ingredients

  • 1 cup shredded zucchini
  • 1/4 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
  • 1 tablespoon snipped fresh dill
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 3 teaspoons olive oil, divided

Directions

  1. In a sieve or colander, drain zucchini, squeezing to remove excess liquid. Pat dry. In a small bowl, combine the zucchini, bread crumbs, onions, egg, parsley, dill, garlic and cheese.
  2. Heat 1-1/2 teaspoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into oil; press lightly to flatten. Fry in batches until golden brown on both sides, using remaining oil as needed.
