How to Make Zucchini Latkes

  1. Wash and grate two medium zucchini. Avoid peeling them for maximum flavor and nutrients.
  2. Place the grated zucchini in a large bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out excess moisture.
  3. Gently squeeze out as much liquid as possible from the zucchini. You can use your hands or a clean kitchen towel.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and baking powder.
  5. Add the squeezed zucchini, 1 tablespoon of oil, and matzoh meal to the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
  6. Season generously with salt to taste.
  7. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, drop spoonfuls (about 2 tablespoons each) of the zucchini mixture into the pan, leaving space between each latke.
  8. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  9. Repeat with remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil as needed.
  10. Serve your delicious zucchini latkes immediately, topped with applesauce (if desired). Enjoy!
