Ingredients

  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 egg
  • 2 spring onions, chopped
  • ¼ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • a pinch of black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill
  • 3 tablespoon parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions

  • Grate the zucchini with their skin on, then add a pinch of salt, toss well, and set aside for 20 minutes to release as much liquid as possible.
  • Squeeze the liquid very well using your hands, then transfer the grated zucchini to a bowl, and add the other ingredients.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
  • Oil a muffin tin, then shape 10 patties and place them in each muffin hole, making sure the patties cover the tin walls as well.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp, and golden. Use a sharp knife to remove them from the muffin tin.
  • Serve cold with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
