To further reduce food waste, peel the stalk and use it as well.
Let stand until it reaches a jellylike consistency, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, place zucchini and onion in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Let stand for 10 minutes.
Transfer to a clean cloth and wring out as much liquid as possible.
Flatten each ball to about 1/4-inch thickness.
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
Transfer to a plate.
Repeat with remaining 2 tablespoons oil and patties.
(Alternatively, bake patties at 400F until crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.)
Freeze the patties in an airtight container for up to 2 months or refrigerate for up to 3 days.
If you have an air fryer, thats a great place to re-crisp them.
