¼ cup of oregano
1 tbsp of lemon zest
2 eggs

Then, transfer it in a bowl and add the eggs, garlic, basil, oregano, lemon zest, onion, and the salt and pepper. Combine the ingredients well and begin to gradually add the flour and remember to stir constantly so that there are no lumps.
Then, bring a sauté pan with a tbsp of coconut oil to heat and once it heats, add a small amount of the zucchini mixture to form a small patty-like shape, around 2 tbsp, and cook them on both sides for around 6 minutes.
