Zucchini Pancakes

Like potato pancakes but with fewer carbs, these savory Zucchini Pancakes are the perfect side dish with grilled chicken or meat.

Ingredients:

  • 2 packed cups grated zucchini ((from 2 medium zucchinis) squeezed of excess liquid)
  • 2 shallots (finely chopped)
  • 1/4 cup fresh chives
  • 1/4 cup parsley (chopped)
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 6-8 tbsp whole wheat flour
  • kosher salt and fresh pepper to taste
  • olive oil spray

Directions:

  • Grate zucchini using the large holes of a cheese grater and measure two cups. Dry it out by putting the zucchini on a clean dish towel or paper towels and squeezing. Then place it in a large bowl.
  • Add flour, shallots, garlic, parsley, chives, eggs, cheese and season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and spray oil to cover pan.
  • Drop tablespoons of the batter into the skillet. Cook about 2 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Spray more oil in the skillet as needed, and continue with remaining batter. Makes about 10 to 12 pancakes.
