When I posted about the fried zucchini I was given a new recipe for zucchini patties – which sounded fabulous! Since I had all the ingredients in the house and need another recipe to use up the zucchini (more recipes coming) – to the kitchen I went.
Zucchini Patties
Ingredients
3 – 4 cups grated zucchini
2 eggs
1 1/2 – 2 cups almond meal
Seasoning to taste
Butter for cooking.
1. Wash the zucchini and start grating. I grate until I get to the inside with the seeds (that part goes into the compost).
2. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and allow to drain. I do not have a set time on this. I grated, put it in the colander and then got all the other ingredients out, set the table, put dishes away and a few other things around the house and then came back. For bread I drain for about an hour.
3. Place the zucchini in a bowl and add the eggs. Mix together. You could scramble the eggs in a separate bowl and then add, but I am one for simple and not a lot to clean up!
4. Add the almond meal – I do a 1/2 cup at a time – mixing and then adding more. I like mine dry enough to hold together but not too much almond meal – I want to taste the zucchini with a touch of almond.
5. Add seasonings. This is my new favorite mixed seasoning and then I add some pepper. Like it says above season to taste and some time our mood changes our taste for that preparation.
6. Melt butter in a pan, cast iron works great! Make patties and place in the hot butter. Cook 3 – 7 minutes on each side, depending on thickness. Allow to get a golden brown.
7. Serve. I made a simple salad and a couple of these – perfect meal.
You can store in the fridge or freeze. I had them for dinner 2 nights and gave some to a neighbor whose family is away.

Aren’t they wonderful? You can freeze them after they’re cooked (I place between waxed paper) and then just heat them up. Great on salads….You rock!!
Didn’t have any left over to freeze, but I am watching my neighbors garden for the next 2 weeks so I think I will have more zucchini then I know what to do with – so the freezer will be getting stocked with them I am sure. This also gave me an idea for another patty – trying it this weekend – stay tuned!
If I don’t have time to drain the zucchinni – I pat it in between paper towel. I compost the paper towel so I don’t feel so guilty using it!
I love these fritters. I have been using flour but will try the almond meal next time.
Va.
Good thinking on the paper towel and disposal! The almond meal adds a nice hint of flavor to the zucchini.
Got to buy some almond meal! Looks delicious.
They look yummy. Grandma made these but with flour. I like the idea of the almond meal. Now is the time with zucchini everywhere and if you don’t use it it gets as big as a submarine!. xoxo
