Prep time: 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Total time: 40 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 cups grated zucchini or summer squash (about 3 medium or 4 small zucchini/ squash)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup panko bread crumbs
• 2 Large eggs
• 1.5 cups grated old cheddar cheese (about 175g)

Note
If you're overwhelmed with zucchini, make a double batch. These will freeze and re-heat well.


Method

1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Combine zucchini and salt in a medium bowl and allow to sit for 10-15 minutes. Strain any excess water and transfer zucchini to the centre of a clean dish towel. Wrap the zucchini up and twist the towel to squeeze as much excess water from the zucchini as possible.
3. Transfer zucchini back to bowl and add panko, eggs and cheese. Mix throughly and shape mixture into 2 inch round disks.
4. Bake for 22-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Serve warm or at room temperature.
