Use what ya got ~zucchini pancakes






You will need:

2 zucchini shredded or finely chopped (after shredding zucchini squeeze as much water out of it as possible)

1 egg

1/4 fat free Mexican cheese (or feta, any cheese works great)

1/4 Italian bread crumbs (or plain, panko works too)

1 green onion stalk minced

1 tablespoon olive oil

salt/pepper

1 garlic clove minced

1 tablespoon chopped parsley (more less or none works too)




Mix ingredients in a bowl with a fork

In a non stick pan heat on medium the the olive oil and distribute coating the pan as evenly as possible (add additional cooking spray if needed, but the zucchini has enough water in it to stay moist and not dry out on pan)

Scoop heaping spoonful (i used a cereal spoon) of mixture and form a patty (not perfect, these are fun and rustic)


Cook for about 5 minutes until brown, use spatula to flatten cakes. Once brown on one side flip and repeat on opposite side


Drain cakes on paper towel for 3-5 minutes and serve
