Ingredients:
3 cups of grated zucchini (approximately 15 oz)
3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour
1 egg
½ medium onion, finely chopped
Instructions:
Prepare the Zucchini:
Start by washing the zucchini thoroughly. Then, using a grater, grate the zucchini into a large bowl.
You should aim for about 3 cups of grated zucchini, which is roughly equivalent to 15 ounces.
Once grated, place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much excess water as possible. This step is crucial to achieving crispy pancakes.
Mix the Ingredients:
In a separate bowl, crack one egg and beat it lightly. Add the squeezed zucchini, 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, and half of a medium onion finely chopped. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cook the Pancakes:
Heat a non stick skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of oil. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the pan, pressing them down lightly to form small pancakes.
Tent the baking dish with aluminum foil and place it in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. If necessary, cook the pancakes in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once cooked, transfer the pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve them hot, with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh herbs if desired. These zucchini pancakes are perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish for any meal.
