Game Day Veggie Sliders

Directions

1. 1

   Place the grated zucchini in a bowl (a salad spinner works well), sprinkle with sea salt, and let sit for 5 minutes. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer to a medium bowl. Add the grated onion, breadcrumbs, seasoning, Parmesan, and egg. Mix until combined.

2. 2

   Preheat the griddle to medium heat and add enough oil for shallow frying. Scoop the zucchini mixture in ¼-cup portions onto the griddle and flatten slightly. Cook until golden brown on both sides. After flipping, place a slice of mozzarella on each fritter and allow it to melt. Transfer to a warming rack if needed.

3. 3

   Lightly toast the slider buns on the griddle.

4. 4

   Build the sliders by placing a fritter on each bun, topping with marinara sauce, and sprinkling with fresh basil. Serve warm and enjoy.
