How to Make Great Nana's Zucchini Appetizers

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, Parmesan cheese, flour, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Shape the zucchini mixture into small patties or fritters (about 1-2 inches in diameter).
Roll each zucchini patty in bread crumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the zucchini fritters in the hot skillet, and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and heated through.
Alternatively, you can bake the zucchini fritters on the prepared baking sheet for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve warm and enjoy! These are delicious on their own or with a dipping sauce of your choice.
