Zucchini cutlets are a light, aromatic dish of Mediterranean cuisine that combines the freshness of vegetables with the richness of spices. Rich in vitamins, zucchini transforms into tender patties in this recipe, complemented by the piquant taste of feta, garlic, and herbs. Their origin is linked to the tradition of preparing vegetable appetizers in the Mediterranean, where simplicity and richness of flavors are valued. The crispy golden crust and soft, juicy center make these cutlets perfect as a standalone dish or as a side to fresh salads. They are especially good with yogurt or garlic sauce. An ideal option for a light dinner or snack on a warm summer day!
