Ingredients

4 cups Summer squash, shredded about 1 large squash
¾ cup Panko bread crumbs
¾ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
1 tsp Garlic powder
1 ¼ tsp Onion powder
¼ cup fresh herbs - parsley, oregano or basil or 1 tbsp dried herbs
½ tsp Salt
2 eggs, beaten

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or oil the pan to prevent sticking.
Prepare summer squash by shredding it using a food processor or hand-held box grater with large holes. If your squash has many big seeds, you can remove them by scooping them out with a spoon.
After shredding, place the squash in cheesecloth, a clean kitchen towel, or paper towels, and squeeze to remove the moisture.
In a small bowl, add the eggs and beat together.
In a medium mixing bowl, add summer squash and all ingredients except the eggs. And mix to combine.
Add the beaten eggs to the squash mixture and combine.
Take about a heaping tablespoon of the mixture into your hands and shape it into a round ball or flatten it slightly. Squeeze the rounds to squeeze out excess moisture and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
Serve and enjoy!

Notes
