Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Wash and trim the zucchini, then grate it using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.
Chop the green onions finely and mince the garlic.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the batter is evenly combined.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the zucchini batter onto the heated skillet and gently press to flatten into a pancake shape. Repeat to make more pancakes, leaving space between each one.
Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
Remove the pancakes and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve the zucchini pancakes warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
