Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy pancakes.
- Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, eggs, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, green onions, and parsley. Stir until well mixed.
- Heat the Skillet: In a skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula.
- Cook Until Golden: Fry the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as necessary to avoid burning.
- Serve: Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
