Zucchini Cakes

Never had anything like this before.  Hope they are good!

Found on www.justputzing.com

- 1 large zucchini, grated
- 1 large egg
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- Salt/pepper to taste
- 1 tbsp Adobo spices
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

(1) Remove excess liquid from freshly grated zucchini by placing them between paper towels and squeezing.   
** There will be a LOT of excess liquid, so I suggest you squeeze over the sink.
 
(2) In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients. Mix thoroughly.
 
(3) Heat a large pan on medium, and spray with Pam. Shape spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into 2-inch (diameter) patties, and drop onto the sizzling pan. Cook each side for about a minute and a half, or until the outside is golden brown.
 
(4) Finish the cakes off in the oven — stick them on a baking pan and broil them for 1-2 minutes.

** Note from website: I skipped this step when I made my cakes, so the sides were still kind of soft — not really a problem in terms of taste, but if you want a nice crust to form on the sides too, finishing them off in the oven should do the trick.
 
(5) Serve hot, alone or with ranch dressing.
