Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 2 medium carrots
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 stalks green onions, chopped
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 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 or a food processor.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. Repeat if necessary to ensure the zucchini is dry.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrots, all-purpose flour, egg, grated parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini-carrot mixture into the skillet and gently flatten it with the back of a spoon to form a pancake. Repeat for additional pancakes, ensuring they are evenly spaced in the skillet.

Step 6

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust the heat if necessary to prevent burning.

Step 7

Remove the cooked pancakes onto a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and repeat the process until all the mixture is used up.

Step 8

Serve the zucchini carrot pancakes warm, optionally garnished with additional chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream.
