Crispy zucchini pancakes

These little pancakes are crispy and delicious, and make excellent appetizers or a side dish for brunches. Made with just a few basic ingredients, these can be whipped up in a matter of minutes.

Ingredients

  • 2 small zucchini, grated
  • 1 small onion, grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, or 1 tsp dried
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup (or more if necessary) bread crumbs
  • oil for frying
  • yogurt or sour cream for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl mix zucchini, onion, egg, dill and salt and pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined. Add bread crumbs and stir in. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs. Shape into small patties.
  2. In a skillet heat just enough oil to coat the bottom. Add a small bit of zucchini mixture to the oil. It should start to sizzle right away. If not, let the oil get a bit hotter. Taste the test piece and add more salt and pepper if necessary. Place patties into the skillet in a single layer. Allow patties to cook until the bottom is crispy and golden brown, taking care that they don’t burn, about 5 minutes. Turn patties over and cook until the second side is crispy and golden brown.
  3. Remove from skillet and pat with paper towel to remove any excess oil. Serve immediately with a bit of yogurt or sour cream on the side for dipping.
