Serves 6

Ingredients

• 1 pound (3-4 cups) zucchini and yellow squash, finely chopped

• 1 teaspoon salt

3. Place flour in a shallow bowl near workstation.
4. Heat a large skillet, pan, or griddle over medium-high heat and add 1/4inch oil to pan (or non-stick spray if using griddle).
5. Begin making croquettes by taking 2 tablespoons zucchini mixture and forming it into a patty.
6. Dredge both sides of patty in flour, then shake off excess.
7. Once hot, drop floured zucchini patties down into oil, making sure to not overcrowd the pan, and cook until golden brown on both sides. 3-4 minutes per side.
8. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate to drain, then serve immediately.
