Ingredients:

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if needed)
  • 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying

Instructions:

  1. Begin by preparing the star ingredient of our dish: the zucchini. Using a box grater or food processor, grate the zucchinis into fine shreds. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture. This step is essential for ensuring that our cutlets hold together beautifully during cooking.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, breadcrumbs, nutritional yeast, chopped parsley, dried oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined. This flavorful mixture is the heart and soul of our zucchini cutlets, bursting with fresh herbs and spices.
  3. Once the mixture is well combined, divide it into equal portions and shape each portion into a flat patty, resembling traditional cutlets. This step allows us to create uniform cutlets that cook evenly and develop a delicious golden crust.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the zucchini cutlets to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook the cutlets for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  5. As the cutlets cook, you’ll be greeted by the tantalizing aroma of herbs and spices filling the air. This is the moment when our zucchini cutlets begin to transform into a culinary masterpiece, ready to be enjoyed by all.
  6. Once the cutlets are golden brown and crispy on both sides, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. This extra step ensures that our cutlets are light and crispy, with just the right amount of texture and crunch.
  7. Serve the Delicious Vegan Zucchini Cutlets hot, accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce or as part of a delicious meal. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer, side dish, or main course, these cutlets are sure to impress with their flavor and versatility.
