Makes: 8 Cakes | Cook time: 15 min

Ingredients
  • 1 large zucchini grated, excess water removed (Note: To do this, after you grate the zucchini, put the grated zucchini into paper towels and squeeze to release the water) 
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs 
  • sprinkle of ground nutmeg, about 1/8 teaspoon (Note: If you add too much it can quickly take over the taste, less is more) 
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika 
  • 1 clove garlic, minced 
  • 1 egg 
  • salt and pepper to taste 
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil 
Directions
  1. Combine all ingredients, except olive oil, in a bowl and mix thoroughly. Using a heaping tablespoon form the mixture into 8 patties.
  2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Once heated, add patties and cook until golden brown. About 3-4 minutes per side. Serve.
