Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Grate the zucchini using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess water as possible.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Add the squeezed zucchini, almond flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Stir the mixture until fully combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat up.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter per pancake into the skillet, flattening each pancake slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even thickness.
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.
Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and garnish with additional parsley if desired.
