Steps:
- Line a big bowl with paper towels. Grate the zucchini in the prepared bowl, do one zucchini at a time, then strain all of the water from them using paper towels. Alternatively, you can place the grated zucchini in a colander over the sink, and add about a tsp of salt to the zucchini. Gently toss, then using paper towels, drain the zucchini.
- In a large bowl add the grated zucchini, provolone cheese, Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, flour, onion, dill, eggs and season with salt and pepper. I usually don't add any salt because there should be enough sodium from the cheese. Mix really well.
- In a skillet heat about a tablespoon of the vegetable oil. You can either form patties or use a spoon to drop small amounts of the zucchini mixtures to the pan. Do not overcrowd the pan. Fry on both sides until golden brown, then repeat with remaining zucchini mixture/patties.
- Serve warm by themselves or with ranch dressing.

ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN
Steps:
- Remove the ends of the zucchini and, if they are large, cut in half lengthwise. Slice the zucchini diagonally in 1/2-inch slices. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large (12-inch) saute pan and add the onions. Cook for 10 minutes on medium-low heat, until they start to brown. Add half the zucchini, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the pan and cook, tossing occasionally, for 10 to 15 minutes, until just cooked through. Sprinkle with Parmesan and cook for 30 seconds more. Remove to a serving platter and repeat with the rest of the zucchini. Serve immediately.
- Note: If you cook too much zucchini in one pan, you end up steaming rather than sauteing it. I prefer to cook it in 2 batches.

Tips:
- To ensure the patties hold their shape while cooking, make sure to squeeze out any excess moisture from the zucchini before mixing it with the other ingredients.
- For a crispier patty, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
- Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices to create unique flavor combinations. Some good options include basil, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, and onion powder.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the zucchini by hand using a box grater.
- Be careful not to overcook the patties, as they can become dry and tough. Cook them until they are golden brown and cooked through, but still slightly tender in the center.
- Serve the patties immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, pesto, or tzatziki.
