- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Form the mixture into patties—about the size of your palm.

- Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown and cooked through.

Notes
Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy burgers. Chill patties before cooking for better shape retention.
