They tend to be tender in the middle but not gooey. The heat needs to be high at the beginning when you put them in your pan, then you need to adjust temperature, so that extra moisture inside evaporates. Maybe I should have been more specific in the preparation. Sometimes you need to play with consistency before cooking them, adding some breadcrumbs. @Meg

I was very disapointed with the results. Although they were crispy on the outside; they were very gooey on the inside. I did squeeze as much moisture as I could possibly and I even added more bread crumbs but the results were all the same. I even played with the temp on teh stove top. The taste was still good.

Hope you like them! @Jasmine

They're also quick to prepare, perfect when you have some zucchini that you don't know what to do with. Thanks Cookin Canuck!
