Easy Zucchini Pancakes
Description
In this recipe, grated zucchini is first cooked in a non-stick pan until tender, then cooled and squeezed to remove excess moisture, preventing soggy pancakes. The cooked zucchini is combined with minced garlic, flour, baking powder, shredded mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, salt, and onion powder, binding with eggs to form a batter. Dropped by large spoonfuls into a hot olive oil pan and spread to rounds, the pancakes fry until golden and crisp on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.
The cheeses add a mild, melty texture and flavor, while garlic and seasonings enhance the savory notes. The result is a crispy-edged fritter with a soft, moist center. Serving suggestions include sour cream or tomato sauce to complement the mild zucchini flavor.
