If you got some amazing love for zucchinis, you can try this simple recipe to level up your cooking. You'll surely love this zucchini quinoa patties recipe.
Grate zucchini. Sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon of salt to help absorb moisture. Let zucchini sit in a colander to let moisture drain.
If you are making rice to go with zucchini patties, start it now.
If quinoa is not already cooked, start it now.
In a skillet, combine peppers, olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook until peppers are soft.
In a large bowl, combine panko crumbs, parmesan cheese, and lemon zest. Next, add lemon juice, quinoa, and pepper. Last, add egg and grated zucchini. Mix together.
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Heat the olive oil (just enough to coat the surface) in the same skillet you used for the peppers on medium-high heat. Roll the zucchini mixture into balls and then flatten between your palms. Place the patties into the skillet and cook until lightly browned on both sides. Remove from pan and place on a baking sheet.
Once all patties have been fried, back for 15 minutes. Flip patties halfway through.
Remove them from the oven and serve over rice (I prefer Jasmine rice) with chilled yogurt sauce on top.
