- Prepare Zucchini Mixture:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture. Transfer the squeezed zucchini to a large mixing bowl.
- Combine Ingredients:
- To the bowl with zucchini, add breadcrumbs, vegan cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, nutritional yeast (if using), oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Form Mini Burgers:
- Take about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and shape it into a small burger patty, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Repeat with the remaining mixture to make 12 mini burgers.
- Cook Mini Burgers:
- Lightly coat a large non-stick skillet with cooking spray or olive oil and heat over medium heat. Cook the mini burgers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. You may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your skillet.
- Bake (Optional):
- Alternatively, you can bake the mini burgers for about 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.
- Serve:
- Serve the mini zucchini burgers warm with your favorite burger toppings such as lettuce, tomato slices, avocado, or vegan mayo.
