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.

ZUCCHINI PANCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.
• Grate the zucchini into a bowl using the large grating side of a box grater. Immediately stir in the onion and eggs. Stir in 6 tablespoons of the flour, the baking powder, salt, and pepper. (If the batter gets too thin from the liquid in the zucchini, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour.)
• Heat a large (10 to 12-inch) saute pan over medium heat and melt 1/2 tablespoon butter and 1/2 tablespoon oil together in the pan. When the butter is hot but not smoking, lower the heat to medium-low and drop heaping soup spoons of batter into the pan. Cook the pancakes about 2 minutes on each side, until browned. Place the pancakes on a sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil to the pan, and continue to fry the pancakes until all the batter is used. The pancakes can stay warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes. Serve hot.
