When I was living in South Korea as an expat English teacher, I started cooking for myself. Prior to that, I cooked whatever my mom told me to put together for the family. Once on my own, I discovered that I actually enjoy cooking. And by cooking I mean trying new recipes and developing my own through trial and error.
That’s how I created these Zucchini Pancakes. It was literally a grated zucchini with an egg and salt and pepper. And it’s been my go-to to breakfast ever since.
This quick and easy meal is also great if you’re trying to lose weight. One medium zucchini has roughly 33 calories, while a pan fried egg has about 90. There’s also no need for flour. This meal is completely keto or no-carb. Just mix the zucchini and egg together and you’ve got a very satisfying breakfast or snack.
Zucchini Pancakes
Ingredients:
- 1 medium zucchini
- 1 egg
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Oil to pan fry
Directions:
- Grate the zucchini onto paper towel
- Wrap the paper towel around the grated zucchini and strain out excess water
- Add the strained zucchini to a bowl and add the egg, salt and black pepper. Mix everything together.
- In a heated pan add some oil and ladle in 1/3 of the batter to form a pancake. Continue making pancakes with the rest. (Add more oil if the pancakes stick to the pan.)
- Flip each pancake once the underside is golden brown. Do the same with the other side.
- Then turn off the heat, plate up and enjoy ^-^
