Ingredients
  

  • 2 medium zucchinis
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a healthier option)
  • 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Zucchini
    First, grate the zucchini using a box grater. Then place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Removing excess moisture is essential because it helps the pancakes become crispy instead of soggy.
  • Mix the Batter
    Next, transfer the drained zucchini to a bowl. Add the eggs, flour, garlic, herbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and baking powder. Stir everything together until a thick batter forms.
  • Heat the Pan
    After that, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the Pancakes
    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter into the pan for each pancake. Flatten them slightly with the back of a spoon. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve
    Finally, transfer the pancakes to a paper-towel lined plate and serve warm.
    For extra flavor and protein, serve them with creamy dips such as chickpea hummus or lentil hummus, which pair beautifully with savory zucchini pancakes.
