Crispy, juicy and packed with vitamins: the Zucchini Gratin Cakes from Spoonsparrow are the perfect choice – whether as a side dish or a light lunch.

Ingredients

  • 2 Zucchini
  • 2 carrots
  • 0.5 bunch Parsley (10 g)
  • Salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 Tbsp starch
  • 1 tbsp oatmeal
  • breadcrumbs (as needed)
  • Lemon juice
  • nutmeg
  • Pepper (freshly ground)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1.

    Peel and clean the zucchini and carrots, then grate finely. Wash the parsley, shake dry, pluck the leaves and chop finely. Salt the grated zucchini and let it sit for about 10 minutes to draw out water.

  2. 2.

    Squeeze out excess liquid and mix with the carrots, egg, starch, parsley and oatmeal. If the mixture is too soft, fold in some breadcrumbs. Season with salt, lemon juice, nutmeg and pepper.

  3. 3.

    Heat a non‑stick pan with hot oil and fry small patties over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, press lightly to flatten, and cook 2–3 minutes per side until crisp. Drain the Zucchini Gratin Cakes on paper towels before serving.
