FAQ:

  • Can I bake the zucchini cakes instead of frying?
    Yes, bake at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning.

  • How do I prevent the cakes from being soggy?
    Squeeze out all excess moisture from the grated zucchini and use enough breadcrumbs to bind the mixture.

  • Can these be made ahead of time?
    Yes, form the cakes and refrigerate for a few hours before cooking. You can also freeze uncooked cakes for up to 1 month.
