Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup (grated) parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup sour cream or yogurt (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Wash the zucchini thoroughly and grate it using a box grater or food processor.

Step 2

Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is crucial to keep the zucchini flats crispy.

Step 3

In a large bowl, combine the grated and dried zucchini with the flour, eggs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients well until it forms a cohesive batter.

Step 4

Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture for each flat, form into small patties, and place them into the heated skillet.

Step 6

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

Step 7

Once cooked, transfer the zucchini flats to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 8

Repeat the process with the remaining mixture, adding more olive oil to the pan as needed.

Step 9

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, if desired. Enjoy!
