How to Make Zucchini Pancake

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash and grate 2 medium zucchini. Pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. Set aside.
  3. Lightly spray a 2-quart rectangular baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, and 1 teaspoon garlic salt.
  5. Beat in 2 large egg yolks and ½ cup milk until smooth.
  6. Gently stir in the grated zucchini, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 small grated carrot, ½ cup chopped sweet pepper, and ¼ cup chopped onion.
  7. In a separate medium bowl, beat 2 large egg whites with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
  8. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the zucchini batter, being careful not to deflate. Leave in a few visible puffs of egg white.
  9. Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly to the edges.
  10. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean.
  11. Let cool slightly before cutting into squares.
  12. Sprinkle with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
