Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture (about 2 minutes).
  2. Step 2: In a bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, 1/2 cup grated parmesan, 3 tbsp almond flour, garlic powder, oregano, and 1 beaten egg. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. Step 3: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment. Form mixture into 4 equal patties (about 3 inches wide) and place on sheet.
  4. Step 4: Brush tops lightly with olive oil, then bake for 20 minutes until golden brown and crisp at the edges, flipping halfway through.
