Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 large carrot
- 2 stalks green onion
- 3 large eggs
- 0.5 cups almond flour
- 2 tablespoons tapioca starch
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated vegetables into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial for crisp, non-soggy pancakes.
Thinly slice the green onions and add them to a large mixing bowl along with the squeezed zucchini and carrot.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs. Pour the eggs into the vegetable mixture.
Add the almond flour, tapioca starch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper into the mixing bowl. Stir until well combined into a thick batter.
Heat a non-stick skillet or cast-iron pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of oil.
Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of the batter onto the heated skillet to form each pancake. Use the back of the spoon to flatten and shape them into 3-4 inch rounds.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and firm enough to flip. Carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until both sides are golden and cooked through.
Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the second tablespoon of oil to the pan as needed.
Serve the pancakes warm. They pair wonderfully with a dollop of Paleo-approved yogurt, guacamole, or fresh herbs!
