I followed this recipe exactly as written, using a non-stick skillet with a light coating of olive oil. I had a really hard time turning the patties...they stuck to the skillet and they stuck to my plastic spatula so I tried a metal one (even though I was in the non-stick skillet, I just was being careful). The patties stuck to just about anything they came into contact with! I ended up with a tray full of mushy, half-browned blobs of zucchini mixture, which was a bear to clean since the patties stuck to it. We still ate it, and the flavor was quite good, but the technique was not working for us. Sorry BA, this did not work out for us at all and my husband asked me to go back to my original zucchini pancake recipe (I was trying to lighten things up with yours). -
GOOD! I added cashew pieces, grated parmesan and some minced garlic to make it the main course of the meal.

Moved to Cali a year ago with my husband. Love to read, workout, hike, spend time enjoying the married life! I love to bake mostly but enjoy cooking healthy meals as well. I love to just create things, im always making crazy things up for late night dinners when my chef husband comes home...luckily he appreciates all my efforts :-)
