Ingredients

• 2 medium-sized zucchini
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 large egg
• 2 stalks green onion
• 1 clove garlic
• 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Wash and trim the zucchini, then grate it using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much water as possible.

Step 2

Chop the green onions finely and mince the garlic.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, egg, chopped green onions, minced garlic, parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the batter is evenly combined.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Scoop 2-3 tablespoons of the zucchini batter onto the heated skillet and gently press to flatten into a pancake shape. Repeat to make more pancakes, leaving space between each one.

Step 6

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes on one side, or until golden brown. Flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the pancakes and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat the process with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.

Step 8

Serve the zucchini pancakes warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.
