Notes

Pro Tip:Zucchini is almost 95% water. If you grate it and mix it directly, your patties will turn into a soggy mess in the pan. The Tip: After grating the zucchini, sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over it and let it sit for 2 minutes. Then, place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze it with all your strength until no more water comes out.
