Zucchini Fritters

Zucchini fritters are a great way to make a quick, nutritious meal containing three servings of vegetables per person.  This recipe is so tasty our son will even eat them – if you knew my family you would understand.  Sometimes it’s not even worth chewing off the restraints!

1 1/2 small zucchini – grated (should be about 1 1/2 c)

3 eggs

1/2 t garlic powder

1/2 t onion powder

dash of salt

1/4 t fresh cracked black pepper

dash of cayenne

3 T grated parmesan cheese
