About this Recipe

Zucchini Patties are a delicious way to use up summer squash and make a wonderful alternative to traditional potato pancakes. These crispy, cheesy fritters are golden on the outside with a tender, flavorful interior packed with fresh zucchini and two kinds of melty cheese.

This simple recipe combines grated zucchini with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, creating patties that are crispy when fried but wonderfully soft inside. The combination of nutty Parmesan and stretchy mozzarella gives these patties an irresistible cheesy pull with every bite.

At just 260 calories per serving with 12 grams of protein, these zucchini patties make a satisfying side dish or light meal. They are perfect for using up an abundant zucchini harvest or as a creative way to get more vegetables into your diet.

Serve these golden patties with a dollop of sour cream, a spoonful of marinara sauce, or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal. They are equally delicious as an appetizer, side dish, or vegetarian main course that the whole family will love.
