Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.25 cups parmesan cheese
- 2 stalks green onions
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible and transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Slice the green onions thinly and add them to the bowl with the zucchini.
Step 3
Add the egg, flour, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture per pancake into the skillet, flattening gently with a spatula to form pancake shapes.
Step 6
Cook each pancake for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more olive oil as needed for frying.
Step 7
Serve the zucchini pancakes warm. Optionally, top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added flavor.
