Time: 20 minutes
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 4 cups spiral-cut or grated zucchini
- 1 bunch scallions, minced
- ¼ cup whole wheat flour
- ¼ tsp. kosher salt
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 Tbs. + 2 Tbs. extra-virgin olive oil
Instructions
- Place a large rimmed baking pan in the oven and heat to 275°F.
- In a large bowl, whisk the eggs. Stir in the zucchini and scallions.
- In a small bowl, mix together the flour, salt, and pepper. Stir into the zucchini mixture.
- In a large nonstick pan, heat 2 Tbs. of the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Form 6 pancakes by scooping 1/3 cup of the mixture per pancake into the pan. Cook until golden brown, 2–3 minutes. Gently flip and cook until golden brown on the other side, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the pan and keep warm in the oven.
- Wipe out the pan. Repeat with the remaining 2 Tbs. of oil and the remaining zucchini mixture to form 6 more pancakes.
