Ingredients
- 2 medium (about 2 cups grated) Zucchini
- 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated, optional)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Green onions (finely chopped, optional for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or some cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until lightly beaten. Add the squeezed zucchini, gluten-free flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
Step 3
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini batter for each pancake onto the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of a spoon to create an even circle.
Step 4
Cook the pancakes for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Step 5
Remove the pancakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 6
Serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions if desired. Enjoy as a breakfast option or as a side dish with your favorite meal!
