Zucchini Patties

The original recipe claims these taste like crab cakes. They don't but they are tasty. We dipped ours in cocktail sauce but they would be good with a nice dill sauce, too. I made some changes, but they turned out pretty tasty and are a great way to use up some of  the zucchini in my garden...

2 1/2 cups grated zucchini

Place in a colander and toss with 1/2 tsp salt. Let drain for 30 minutes. Then press out any remaining moisture with a clean towel.

Add:
1 egg, beaten
2 Tbsp melted butter

Then stir in:
1 cup plain store-bought breadcrumbs
2 heaping teaspoons of Old Bay
1/4 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp garlic powder
dash cayenne, optional

Mix well with hands. Press into 6-8 patties.

Coat with panko bread crumbs. Place on baking tray lightly coated with vegetable oil.

Bake at 400 for 14 minutes per side.

Serve hot.
