Serve with: Sweet potato fries, a fresh salad, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Storage: Store cooked patties in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet.
Freezing: Patties can be frozen raw. Place on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.
Variations
Cheesy Zucchini Burgers: Add a slice of mozzarella or cheddar on top while cooking.
Spicy Kick: Mix in 1/2 tsp chili flakes or cayenne pepper for extra heat.
Vegan Option: Replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flax + 3 tbsp water per egg) and skip Parmesan.
FAQ
Q: Can I bake these instead of frying?
A: Yes! Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
Q: Can I use other vegetables?
A: Absolutely! Finely grated zucchini, carrot, sweet potato, or even cauliflower can work.
Q: How do I prevent the patties from falling apart?
A: Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the zucchini and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes before forming patties.
