Looking for a lighter alternative to traditional burgers that still delivers on texture and flavor? These zucchini burgers are the perfect answer. They’re rich in protein, quick to make, and deliciously crispy thanks to oat flour and cheese. Whether you serve them in a bun, on a salad, or in a wrap, they’re incredibly versatile — and naturally gluten-free (if using certified GF oats).

👨‍🍳 Instructions

Prep the zucchiniGrate the zucchini and place it in a sifting cloth or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly to remove excess water — this step is crucial to avoid soggy burgers.
Mix everythingIn a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, shredded cheese, eggs, and oat flour. Add salt and pepper to taste. Mix until a cohesive batter forms.
Shape the pattiesTake portions of the mixture and form balls, then flatten them into burger shapes using your hands.
Cook to golden perfectionHeat a drizzle of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 4–5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve and enjoyLet the patties rest for a minute, then serve in buns, on rice bowls, or with a fresh salad.
