Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 2 cups grated) Zucchini
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or some cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the squeezed zucchini, gluten-free flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini batter for each pancake onto the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even circle.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy as a breakfast option or as a side dish with your favorite meal!
