Ingredients

The following ingredients have 15 Servings
  • 1 1/2 pounds zucchini (about 2 medium or 1 large, grated)
  • 2 teaspoons salt (divided)
  • 3/4 pound ground beef (or other ground meat)
  • 1/2 medium onion (chopped)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup whole wheat bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon curry powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • black pepper (freshly ground)

Instruction

  • Grate the zucchini (to speed things up I use my food processor with shredding attachment). Combine with 1 teaspoon of salt and let stand for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F and line 2 baking sheets.
  • Squeeze out as much water from the grated zucchini as possible and place in to a large bowl. Combine with all remaining ingredients and form patties from about 1/4 cup of the mixture.
  • Place patties on prepared baking sheets and slide onto the lower center rack of your oven.
  • Bake for 20 minutes on one side, then flip the patties and bake for about 15 minutes.
  • Serve on small buns as sliders or with any sides (we like baked sweet potato fries or pasta with these).
