- 1/2 cup feta cheese, low-fat, crumbled
- 1/4 cup red pepper, diced

- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 6 tablespoons hot marinara sauce

Directions
- To remove water from shredded zucchini, place it on a clean dish towel and tightly squeeze it over the sink.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine zucchini, eggs, feta, red pepper, chickpeas, green onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and parsley. Mix well.
- Form mixture into 6 even patties with your hands.

- Place the patties on the buns and top each with 1 tablespoon marinara sauce. Top with tomato slices and lettuce.
Recipe Tips
You can bake these in the oven instead of stove top. Heat the oven to 425 degrees and place patties on an oiled pan. Bake for 10 minutes, flip them over and bake for another 5-7 minutes.
