Ingredients

  • 1 pound zucchini, grated
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, chopped

  • 1 dash ground nutmeg
  • 1 pinch onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Squeeze grated zucchini in paper towels to release as much water as possible. Spread zucchini on fresh paper towels and sprinkle with salt and let sit for 30 minutes to release additional water and then squeeze again.
  • Mix Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, garlic, basil, nutmeg, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl; add zucchini. Stir to combine.
