A combination of shredded yellow summer squash, zucchini and carrot, plus onion, garlic, seasonings, Parmesan and egg, is shaped into patties and baked in the oven.
  • Servings: 6
Ingredients:
1 Large or 2 Medium Yellow Summer Squash
1 Large or 2 Medium Zucchini
2 Medium Carrots
1 Medium Onion, diced
2 cloves Garlic, diced or pressed
½ cup Parmesan Cheese
¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Mrs Dash or Any Table Spice Blend
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 Egg + 1 Egg White, beaten

Salt & Pepper, to taste
Directions:
Shred squash, zucchini and carrots in a food processor. Place it in a strainer with a large bowl beneath to catch liquids. Sprinkle on about 1 teaspoon of salt, toss and let it sit about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, lightly saute diced onion until almost done, then add garlic, and finish cooking just until onion is tender. Let cool while removing liquid from squash mixture.
Removing as much liquid from squash as possible is the most important element for the success of this recipe. Liquid should be starting to drip into bowl under strainer. Squeeze out as much as possible. Then squeeze into balls to remove the last bit.
Place squash into a large mixing bowl. Add cooled onion mixture and Parmesan cheese. (If you have flakes or a whole piece of cheese, first run it through a food processor to grate it.) Add remaining ingredients, including egg; mix well.
Form mixture into 6 patties and place on a greased baking pan. Bake at 400 degrees about 30 minutes, or until cheese is browning, turning over halfway through cooking time.
