EASY ZUCCHINI CARROT PANCAKES

Steps:

• Using a food processor with a grater (shredder) attachment (or a box grater), shred the zucchini and place it in a fine mesh strainer (with a bowl below). Sprinkle salt over the zucchini and give it a gentle toss. Set aside for 10 minutes.
• In the meantime, prepare and measure the other ingredients (except the olive oil, salt and optional toppings *(see first note) and place them in a large bowl.Then, using your hands, squeeze the grated zucchini to drain excess liquid (it's okay if it is not completely dry) before adding it with the other ingredients.
• Combine the ingredients until well incorporated.
• Heat a large skillet on medium-high heat and add a tablespoon of olive oil, swirling the skillet to cover the surface. Scoop ⅓ cup of the mixture in the pan and gently press down with a spatula to form a pancake **(see second note). Repeat the process until the pan is filled with pancakes, but the pancakes are not touching.
• Pan-fry until golden-brown, about 3-4 minutes on each side. Transfer to a plate lined with a paper towel. Add another tablespoon of the olive oil to the skillet and repeat the frying process until the mixture runs out.
• Garnish with additional fresh parsley and serve with sour cream or plain Greek yogurt if you like. Best enjoyed immediately.

Steps:

• Bake for about 52 to 58 minutes (I baked 54 minutes) or until the top is golden, the center is set, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, or with a few moist crumbs, but no batter. Tip - Tent the pan with a sheet of foil draped loosely over it at the 35 minute-mark to prevent top and sides from becoming overly browned before center cooks through. Baking times will vary based on moisture content of carrots, zucchini, climate, and oven variances. Bake until done; watch your bread, not the clock and don't worry if it takes longer to bake than the baking estimates provided.

Optionally, serve with or glaze with Honey Butter, Cinnamon-Sugar Butter, or Vanilla Bean Browned Butter Glaze, or Cream Cheese Glaze.
