Vegan Zucchini Patties:

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchinis, grated
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (ensure they’re vegan)
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast (optional, for flavor)
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/4 cup aquafaba (liquid from a can of chickpeas) or other egg replacer
• Olive oil, for cooking

Instructions:

1. Start by grating the zucchinis. You can either use a grater or a food processor. Once grated, place the zucchini in a colander, sprinkle with a little salt, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. This will help remove excess moisture from the zucchini.
2. While the zucchini is draining, heat a small amount of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic and sauté until they’re translucent and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated and drained zucchini, sautéed onion and garlic, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast (if using), chopped parsley, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
4. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the aqu
