• Bring out and measure all of your ingredients.
  
• Grate zucchini, place into a strainer and sprinkle with salt.
  
• Let sit for at least 15 minutes, (30 minutes is ideal, to get the moisture out) and toss your zucchini a couple of times.
• Knead or press zucchini against the bottom and sides of the strainer pushing the water through.
• Use paper towel to squeeze the zucchini. Do this until there is almost no more water coming out.
• In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, feta or Parmesan, garlic, onion (or green onion), parsley, bread crumbs and egg.
  
• Season with salt and pepper.
• Depending on the amount of water left in your zucchini, you may need to add more bread crumbs so that you can form the mixture into "cakes" or "burgers".
  

FRY

• In a large skillet, over medium to medium high heat, place a few tablespoons of oil. Wait until the oil shimmers or when a drop of water flicks and dances in it.
• Gently place "burgers" or "cakes" in oil and cook until golden brown; about 5 to 6 minutes.
  
• Remove from skillet and place on paper towels.
  

BAKE

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees and line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper and cooking spray. Bake for 10 – 12 minutes, flip and bake for another 10 – 12 minutes.
• Serve with Greek yogurt, sour cream or your favorite sour cream based dip. Enjoy!
