Ingredients
 
 

  • 4 eggs
  • 1 cup grated zucchini (W)
  • 1 small clove garlic minced (W)
  • ¾ cup finely diced yellow onion (W)
  • ½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp. cumin
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ½ tsp. baking soda
  • 3 Tbs. vegetable oil for cooking (can use more or less if needed)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium bowl, mix together all ingredients except the vegetable oil.
  • In a medium non-stick pan over medium heat, heat vegetable oil.
  • Once heated, place ⅓ cup of the zucchini mixture onto the pan. Cook until golden on the bottom, then flip and cook the other side until golden. Remove and place on a paper towel-lined plate.
  • Repeat for remaining zucchini mixture.

Notes

  • Serve hot, warm or cold.
  • These are best served with pita bread as a sandwich. You can also make a wrap with them using a tortilla or eat them as is.
  • Store them in the fridge for up to 3 days.
