Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture thoroughly to prevent soggy pancakes.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder until well incorporated into a batter-like consistency.
  3. Heat the pan: Warm a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add one tablespoon of oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
  4. Form pancakes: Spoon about two tablespoons of the zucchini mixture per pancake into the hot pan, flattening gently to form round pancakes.
  5. Pan-fry pancakes: Cook each pancake for 3-4 minutes on one side until golden brown, then carefully flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes on the other side until cooked through and golden.
  6. Drain and serve: Remove pancakes from the pan and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil. Serve warm with your choice of toppings such as sour cream, yogurt, or a sprinkle of fresh herbs.

Notes

  • Be sure to squeeze out as much water from the zucchini as possible for crispier pancakes.
  • All-purpose flour can be substituted with gluten-free flour for a gluten-free version.
  • Feel free to add grated cheese, chopped herbs, or spices for enhanced flavor.
  • Serve pancakes immediately for best texture, or reheat gently in a pan or oven.
