Ingredients

• 2 medium Zucchini
• 2 medium Carrots
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 medium Garlic clove
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Grate the zucchini and carrots using a box grater. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This step is crucial to ensure the pancakes are not soggy.

Step 2

Transfer the squeezed zucchini and carrots into a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined into a batter.

Step 3

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 4

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter per pancake into the skillet, flattening each gently with the back of a spoon to form a round shape.

Step 5

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

Step 6

Place the cooked pancakes on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Step 7

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
