Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl with the zucchini.
Add the egg, flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture per pancake into the skillet, flattening gently with a spatula to form pancake shapes.
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more olive oil as needed for frying.
Serve the zucchini pancakes warm. Optionally, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
