How to Make Zucchini Pancakes With Sauce Or A Sour Cream Topping

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  2. In a separate large bowl, combine 2 cups grated zucchini, 1 large egg, 1/4 cup finely chopped yellow onion, and 1/4 cup mayonnaise.
  3. Gently stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  4. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  5. Drop 1/4 cup of zucchini mixture into the skillet for each pancake.
  6. Gently press down on each pancake to flatten slightly.
  7. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
  8. Remove pancakes from skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
  9. Serve immediately with your choice of topping: a dollop of sour cream or a generous spoonful of your favorite spicy marinara sauce and extra Parmesan cheese.
