Ingredients

1 medium-sized zucchini
½ teaspoon salt for the zucchini
1 egg
⅓ cup ground oat flakes
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
⅔ cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

First, preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Wash the zucchini, trim the ends, and then grate it. Season with half a teaspoon of salt, mix, and leave it to release water (between 10 and 30 minutes). After that, thoroughly drain the zucchini by squeezing it between your palms.
In the meantime, you can prepare the other ingredients. Grind the oat flakes in a blender (or use oat flour). Grate the Cheddar cheese, and finely chop the chives.
After combining all the ingredients in one bowl, use a spoon to form 5-6 patties on the tray.
Place the patties in the oven for 15 minutes, flip them, and then return to the oven for another 15 minutes.
Serve the warm patties with cheese spread or Greek yogurt. Enjoy your meal!
