Zucchini Cakes Recipe

Zucchini Cakes Recipe

2 medium zucchini

1/2 tsp. salt

1 c. panko crumbs

1 tsp. Old Bay seasoning

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 shallot, minced

1 Tbsp. butter, melted  (I opt for lower calorie spread)

1 egg, beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a cookie sheet.  Shred zucchini with a cheese grater and place it into a colander.  Sprinkle salt over the zucchini and allow to sit for a few minutes to draw out the water.  Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix the panko, Old Bay seasoning, and pepper.  Squeeze water from the zucchini and add it to the bowl.  Stir in the egg, shallot, and melted butter until combined.  Scoop out with a 1/4 cup measure and shape into patties with your hands.  Arrange on the baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes each side.  Serve with warm marinara sauce.
