These tasty fritters are a great way to get more veggies into your diet. They pair well with eggs for a hearty breakfast, add as a side with a main entree, or eat for a quick, healthy snack.

Ingredients

14.1 oz grated zucchini
1.8 oz finely grated Parmesan
1.8 oz grated mature Cheddar cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp dried oregano
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 medium eggs, whisked

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 355°F and line 1-2 large baking trays with parchment paper.
After grating your zucchini, place them in a large square of cheesecloth and squeeze out all the excess moisture. This is a very important step.
Dump the drained zucchini into a large bowl and add the Parmesan, Cheddar, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried oregano. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Add the whisked eggs and use a wooden spoon to mix well.
Form 12 even-sized balls from the mixture and place them onto the tray, leaving a lot of space between them. You may need two trays or do this in two batches.
Once your balls are formed, use a spatula to gently press them down into a flatter, patty shape.
Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes, rotating the tray halfway through to ensure even baking.
Delicious hot or cold with your favorite sauce on the side!
