Crispy Zucchini Pancakes with Garlic Sauce

Crispy Zucchini Pancake with Garlic Sauce

I have a little confession … I am not the biggest fan of zucchini.

However, if there is one recipe that will get me stocking up on zucchini, it is my super crispy zucchini pancakes.

Crispy zucchini pancakes paired with a savory and refreshing garlic sauce is the perfect recipe to get your kids and partners to eat their vegetables!

PLUS, these crispy zucchini pancakes are also gluten-free!

The secret tip to making extra crispy zucchini pancakes is to squeeze out all the excess water.

After shredding the zucchini, massage the zucchini with salt. The salt will draw out all the water from the zucchini, which will help it become extra crispy when fried.

This simple step will also ensure that the pancake stays crispy the next day if you want to prepare the pancake as part of meal prep.

All you need is a few simple ingredients to make Crispy Zucchini Pancakes.

‘These pancakes are also gluten-free since we are using rice flour.

To make cris[y zucchini pancakes, you will need rice flour, salt and pepper, eggs, zucchini, and shredded cheese.

The cheese is optional, but I find it provides a delicious savory salty flavor while also helping crisp up the pancakes.

You can also shred carrots and potatoes to add extra vegetables to these pancakes. 

Crispy Zucchini Pancake with Garlic Sauce

Optional but HIGHLY recommended, I enjoy these crispy zucchini pancakes with a savory and refreshing garlic sauce.

The sauce takes less than 5 minutes to make; you can prepare it while waiting for the zucchini to draw out all the water.

To make the sauce, you will need greek yogurt, lemon, chives, salt and pepper, and a little olive oil.

The olive oil is optional but will help thin out the yogurt, making it a creamier consistency.

  4. Mix everything until a paste-like consistency.

  6. Pan-fry for 2-3 minutes on each side or until crispy and golden brown.

About Me
Hi! I am Tiffy and I am a HUGE foodie. I love to cook, I love to eat, and I love sharing what I love with the world.
I was born in Taiwan, a country with some of the best street food in the world. When I think back to my childhood, I remember all the fantastic restaurants my dad brought me to when I was young. You see, my family is also huge foodies; we use to wander around night markets every weekend, skip the last period in class to try out new restaurants, and every summer, we would travel around Taiwan exploring all the new “must try” dishes around the country.
