Instructions
- Use a cheese grater to grate 4 medium zucchini until you have about 3 cups of grated zucchini and place it into a medium-sized mixing bowl.
- Lightly beat 2 large eggs and add to the zucchini along with 1/4 cup minced white onion, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese, 1 teaspoon minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (if using), and 1/4 teaspoon saltStir well enough to distribute ingredients evenly.
- Get a large heavy skillet heating over medium-high heat. Pour about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into the pan to coat.
- Making batches of 3 to 4 at a time drop heaping spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot oil in the pan. Use a spatula to press down a little to flatten it slightly, creating a pancake.
- Cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until golden brown before flipping. Cook an additional 2 to 3 minutes until both sides are golden brown.
- Once browned, transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
- Add 1 tablespoon additional vegetable oil in between each batch of 3 to 4. Continue cooking until all of the zucchini batter is used.
- Serve hot plain, topped with sour cream, or with marinara for dipping.
Notes
- Add cayenne pepper for a hint of heat.
- Great served with a little marinara sauce or sour cream.
