Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium russet potatoes
• 1 medium onion
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cups all-purpose flour
• 0.25 cups bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoons onion powder
• 1 teaspoons salt
• 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0 cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with cooking spray.

Step 2

Grate the zucchini and potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini and potatoes in a clean kitchen towel, and squeeze out as much excess liquid as possible.

Step 3

Grate the onion and combine it with the drained zucchini and potatoes in a large mixing bowl.

Step 4

Add the eggs, flour, bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and form it into a small patty. Place the patty onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture, spacing the latkes slightly apart on the sheet.

Step 6

Brush the tops of the latkes lightly with olive oil or spray them with additional cooking spray to help with browning.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 12 minutes, then flip each latke carefully. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 10-13 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the latkes from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Serve warm with sour cream, applesauce, or your favorite dipping sauce.
