Zucchini Cakes

I like zucchini...Cole doesn't.  So I've been searching out recipes that use zucchini that Cole and I could enjoy together.  This one was a success.  

Ingredients:

1 large zucchini, grated
1 large egg
1 c. panko bread crumbs
Salt and pepper to taste (I used about a tsp of each)
1 tbsp. Adobo spices (I used 1 tbsp of chili powder)
1/2 c. Parmesan cheese, grated

Directions:

Remove excess liquid from freshly grated zucchini by placing them between paper towels and squeezing. In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly. Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a large pan on medium. Shape spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into 2-in. (diameter) patties, and drop onto the sizzling pan. Cook each side for about a couple minutes, or until the outside is golden brown. Finish the cakes off in the oven. Stick them on a baking pan and finish them off in the oven at 400 for a few minutes while you finish up whatever the rest of your dinner happens to be.  I sprinkled a tiny bit of salt on the outside of these as they came hot out of the oven.

(makes 12 patties, about 63 calories each)

Cole doesn't like zucchini but ate all the leftovers.
