Description

These pancakes are a creative way to eat zucchini. They make a delicious on-the-go snack if you have leftovers.

Ingredients
  • 3 Zucchini
  • 1/4 cup Scallions (finely chopped)
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/2 cup Flour
  • 3/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil (for frying)
  • Light Sour Cream or Tzatziki Sauce (optional for serving)
  • Extra Scallions (optional for serving)
Instructions
  1. 1

    Grate zucchini into a large bowl. Let the grated zucchini sit for 10 minutes, then form it into a ball and squeeze as much water out of it as possible using paper towels.

  2. 2

    Add finely chopped scallions, garlic, egg, and flour. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well to evenly combine.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Drop rounded spoonfuls of zucchini batter into hot oil, flattening slightly to form a pancake. Fry in batches until golden, about 3 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Drain pancakes on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.

  5. 5

    Top with light sour cream or tzatziki sauce and sprinkle with extra scallions if desired.
