Zucchini Latkes

Zucchini latkes are a delightful twist on the traditional potato pancakes, featuring the fresh, vibrant flavors of zucchini. These crispy, golden bites are perfect for snacking or as a side dish, served with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 300 grams
• All-purpose flour - 40 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Grated onion - 50 grams
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Vegetable oil - 150 ml for frying

Steps

1. Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor, then place it in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated onion, flour, egg, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
4. Using a tablespoon, scoop the zucchini mixture and flatten it slightly into patties. Carefully place them in the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
5. Fry the latkes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
6. Serve warm with your choice of sour cream or applesauce.
