1/2 small onion (50g), cut into thin strips
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk (or use unsweetened almond milk for a dairy-free option)
1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (for that Mediterranean flavor)
1 teaspoon dried oregano (use Greek oregano for authenticity)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin (for a warm, earthy flavor)
Salt and pepper to taste
Olive oil spray (for frying)
Optional toppings:
tzatziki sauce, fresh herbs (such as parsley or mint), lemon wedges

Combine Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the shredded carrot, zucchini, onion, flour, eggs, milk, feta cheese, oregano, garlic powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined into a batter.
Heat Oil:
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly spray with olive oil.
Cook Pancakes:
Pour about 1/4 cup of the batter onto the hot skillet for each pancake. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve:
Serve the pancakes immediately with a dollop of tzatziki sauce (yogurt-based cucumber sauce), fresh parsley, or mint leaves, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
Tips:
Add more Mediterranean vegetables: You can add spinach, bell peppers, or mushrooms for even more flavor and variety.
Add some olives or sun-dried tomatoes: Chopped olives or sun-dried tomatoes can be mixed into the batter for a Mediterranean twist.
For extra flavor: Top with a little extra crumbled feta or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
