Follow The Directions

01

Step

Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle generously with salt and let it sit for 30 minutes to draw out excess moisture. (30 minutes)

02

Step

After 30 minutes, wrap the zucchini in several layers of paper towels and squeeze firmly to remove as much remaining water as possible. The drier the zucchini, the better the pancakes. (5 minutes)

03

Step

In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, minced garlic, chopped basil, nutmeg, onion powder, and black pepper. (3 minutes)

04

Step

Add the squeezed zucchini to the bowl and mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Heat the butter and olive oil in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the hot pan, forming small, round pancakes. Gently flatten each pancake with the back of a spoon. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Cook the pancakes for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully to avoid breaking them. (6 minutes)

08

Step

Remove the pancakes from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. (2 minutes)

For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the zucchini mixture.
These pancakes are best served immediately. If you need to keep them warm, place them in a preheated oven at 200°F (93°C).
Experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or cheddar, for a variation in taste.
Serve with your favorite low-carb toppings, such as salsa, sour cream, guacamole, or cream cheese.
Ensure the pan is sufficiently hot before adding the zucchini mixture. A hot pan helps the pancakes crisp up nicely.

    The key is really squeezing out all the water from the zucchini. Mine turned out perfect!

    Great low-carb option for breakfast. I added some feta cheese for extra flavor.

    I used almond flour instead of Parmesan and it worked great for a dairy-free option.
