Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 cup grated carrots
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped green onions
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped bell peppers

Batter

  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons water (if needed to adjust batter consistency)

For Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or olive oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Vegetables: Grate the carrots and zucchini, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini using a clean kitchen towel. Finely chop the green onions and bell peppers.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the grated and chopped vegetables with the flour, eggs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder if using. Stir well to form a thick batter. Add water tablespoon by tablespoon if the batter is too thick to mix evenly.
  3. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add the vegetable oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Cook the Pancakes: Spoon about 2-3 tablespoons of batter per pancake onto the pan, flattening slightly with the back of the spoon to form rounds. Fry each pancake for about 3-4 minutes on one side until golden and crispy, then carefully flip and cook the other side for another 3-4 minutes.
  5. Drain and Serve: Transfer the cooked pancakes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or sour cream.

Notes

  • Ensure zucchini is well-drained to prevent soggy pancakes.
  • You can add herbs like parsley or cilantro for extra flavor.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding spices such as paprika or cumin if desired.
  • These pancakes can be made gluten-free by substituting all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
  • Leftover pancakes reheat well in a skillet or oven to retain crispiness.
