Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis Grated and moisture squeezed out
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Or almond flour for a gluten-free option
- 1/2 cup grated cheese Cheddar or parmesan works great
- 1/2 medium onion Finely grated
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper To taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray For frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and dry the zucchinis. Grate them using a box grater.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated onion, flour, cheese, and egg. Season with salt and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined.
Cooking
- In a non-stick skillet, add olive oil over medium heat and allow it to warm up.
- Scoop a handful of the mixture and flatten it into a patty shape with your hands. Place it carefully in the heated skillet. Repeat until the skillet is full but not overcrowded.
- Fry the patties for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
- Transfer the cooked hash browns onto a paper towel to absorb any excess oil and serve hot.
Notes
Ensure zucchinis are well-drained for crispiness. For variations, consider adding fresh herbs or spices before cooking.
