Ingredients
- 1 medium Zucchini
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 stalks Scallions (green onions)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder (unsalted)
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash and grate the zucchini and carrot using a box grater. Squeeze out excess moisture from the grated vegetables by wrapping them in a clean kitchen towel and pressing firmly.
Step 2
Thinly slice the scallions (both white and green parts) and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, and chopped scallions.
Step 4
Add the all-purpose flour, egg, garlic powder, ground black pepper, and water to the vegetable mixture. Stir until a thick, even batter forms. Adjust water as needed to ensure the batter holds together but is not too dry.
Step 5
Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
Step 6
Drop 2–3 heaping spoonfuls of the batter into the skillet to form individual pancakes. Flatten them slightly with the back of the spoon to ensure even cooking.
Step 7
Cook the pancakes for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding the second tablespoon of olive oil as needed.
Step 8
Serve warm as is, or with a dollop of salt-free yogurt or a squeeze of lemon for added flavor. Enjoy!
