Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups grated zucchini
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out the excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, 1/4 cup flour, 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 beaten eggs, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Mix well.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture into the skillet and flatten it with a spatula to form a pancake. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
- Transfer the cooked zucchini pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the zucchini pancakes warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, salsa, or Greek yogurt.
