Still trying to use up your abundance of zucchini? I have another recipe that will use the overflowing green stuff up. These zucchini pancakes are a great side dish to any meal. Don't be afraid of frying. Usually frying doesn't sound like an easy meal, but this is really quick. It's a bread and vegetable all rolled up into one and you won't be disappointed.
Zucchini Pancakes
- 4 -5 medium zucchini (1 1/2 lbs.)
- 3/4 tsp. salt
- 4 eggs
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 3/4 c. flour
- 1/2 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 c. onion, minced
- 1/2 tsp. pepper
- Sour cream to top
- vegetable oil for frying
Coarsely shred the zucchini and toss with salt. Drain for 15 minutes pressing out all of the liquid. This step is very important.
Beat eggs and add garlic, flour, cheese, onion and pepper. The batter will be lumpy. Gently fold in zucchini just until combined.
Heat an electric skillet to 350 degrees or heat a frying pan on the stove to medium high heat. Add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan. Place 1/4 c. batter in pan for each pancake. Fry on both sides until browned (2-3 minutes). Serve with sour cream.

YUM! These look delish, and probably healthy right? Except for the whole frying part:)
Liz, unfortunately they aren't that healthy. They use a lot of eggs. You could substitute Egg Beaters but like you said, they are still fried. They taste good though!
I would never have thought...these look great!
Wow! do we have the zucini for this! Nice idea. We will use this recipe for sure. Thanks, s
I just made these and they were yummy! I substituted Egg Beaters for the eggs. The taste and consistency of these reminded me a lot of the fried morel mushrooms that we make in the spring.
