Summer Squash Patties with Lemon Garlic Aioli

July 30, 2020 by Karen Giebel 1 Comment

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Summer Squash season is here and that means zucchini and yellow squash will soon be piling up on porches everywhere, placed there unseen by the squash fairies! You know what I mean, right? Trying to come up with tasty ways to use up all this squash is a challenge every summer but let me tell you that I am up to that challenge. Game on! These savory patties are nice and crisp on the outside but have delectably flavored, soft, moist insides. They take just minutes to prepare and just a few minutes to fry them up. They will be on your dinner plate in no time! Serve plain or with this delightfully flavored, lemon, garlic aioli. The aioli also goes together fast using just four ingredients plus salt and pepper. These patties were a hit at our house and I’ll be serving them often during this squash season.

This is what we’ll need.

Summer Squash Patties with Lemon Garlic Aioli

I picked our first two zucchini yesterday and once they start coming on there is no stopping them! These patties truly are delicious and I'll be making them with yellow squash too. I used just a pinch of cayenne but if heat is your thing, go ahead and add a double pinch!
