Zucchini Pancakes

So this a really easy recipe. I made this for Chanukah this year but never got around to posting it. It is a twist on the traditional latkehs.

Zucchini Pancakes
2 large zucchinis
1 egg
1/4 c. whole wheat flour
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1/4 tsp. garlic powder
1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cumin
olive oil for frying

Dressing
1/2 cup of low fat mayo, 1 tbsp. Parmesan cheese, scoop of regular cream cheese, 1/2 tsp. onion powder, dash of garlic powder, lemon juice

1. Shred the zucchinis - add in the egg
2. mix the flour and seasonings together
3. then mix the zucchinis, egg with dry mixture
4. heat skillet with oil - form zucchinis with your hands into little pancakes
5. fry on each side for about 3-5 minutes, flipping occasionally

Dressing - mix all the ingredients together and serve on top of zucchini pancakes

Happy Chanukah!

Holiday Bark
