Zucchini Cakes

Holy cow...I just made these and they are so good!!!!





INGREDIENTS:


2 1/2 cups shredded zucchini
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup ground oatmeal
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 tablespoon butter, melted
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
3/4 teaspoon seafood seasoning
1/2 cup crushed butter-flavored crackers
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

DIRECTIONS:


1. In a bowl, combine the zucchini, bread crumbs, oatmeal, egg, onion, butter, mustard and seafood seasoning; mix well. Shape into five patties. Dip in cracker crumbs. Heat oil in a large skillet; fry patties for 4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.


I used a Joyce Chen 51-0662 Saladacco Spiral Slicer to cut my zucchini into what looked like spaghetti - I got it on Amazon for like 18.00.  Best thing I ever bought!

Divide mixture between the pepper halves and wrap each in tin foil. Arrange on a baking tray and cook in a 350 degree oven or on a rack over the barbecue until the vegetables are tender. (Times may vary depending on your heat source. Just keep an eye on them). Took about 30 minutes for me.
