Zucchini and Garlic Croquettes

These crispy and flavorful zucchini and garlic croquettes are a delicious appetizer or side dish.

Ingredients - Serves 4

Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to release excess moisture.
Squeeze the zucchini to remove as much liquid as possible.
In a mixing bowl, combine the zucchini, minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Shape the mixture into small croquettes or patties.
Heat the vegetable oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Transfer the cooked croquettes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve the zucchini and garlic croquettes hot as an appetizer or side dish.
