Day 8: Green Chile Zucchini Cakes


Are you looking for a vegetarian/non-seafood alternative to Crab Cakes? Or maybe something to make with all the Zucchini you have? Combing the zucchini and carrots with the cheese and bread crumbs is the perfect mixture! These little cakes are tasty, especially with the green chile, and a great way to get in a serving of vegetables! 

Difficulty: Easy
Servings:  8-10 Cakes

Ingredients:
2 Cups Zucchini, grated
½ Cup Carrot, grated
2 Eggs, beaten
1 Cup Bread Crumbs
½ Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
½ Cup Mozzarella Cheese, grated
4 Tbps Green Chile, Diced
1 Tbs Garlic Powder
Dash of Salt and Pepper

Method:
Grate the Zucchini and Carrots and place into a large bowl. Add the beaten eggs, bread crumbs, parmesan, mozzarella, green chile, garlic powder, and salt and pepper.  Mix well.
Form into two inch balls, and flatten for cooking.
Heat a small amount of oil in a skillet over medium heat.  Place Zucchini cakes in skillet cooking at least 5-10 minutes on each side until golden brown.
