Zucchini Patties

1 cup seasoned bread crumbs (or make your own from plain bread and just add a bit of salt)
1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (Old Bay)
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2-1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup vegetable oil



In a large bowl, combine the bread crumbs, seafood seasoning and garlic powder.

Stir in egg and butter until blended.

Using a tea towel, squeeze excess liquid from zucchini.

Add onion and zucchini to the bread crumb mixture.

Mix well.

Place flour in a shallow bowl.

Shape zucchini mixture into 24 small patties; coat with flour.

Heat oil in a large skillet; fry patties, a few at a time, for 3-4 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.

Drain on paper towels.
