Italian Zucchini Pancakes

Published on July 10, 2015 By Emily. Updated on August 8, 2020

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

It’s that time of year again: the part of the summer where zucchini is plentiful, and probably will be for the foreseeable future.  Zucchini is one that that never seems to be lacking at our CSA or the farmer’s market.  Which, for the most part, is fine with me.  I’m definitely a fan of zucchini and I appreciate that it’s a very versatile vegetable.  Still, it’s easy to fall into the habit of simply roasting them in the oven and not trying very hard.  This week, I put our share of zucchini from the farm to work in a slightly different and very delicious manner.

These zucchini pancakes started with the standard vegetable pancake recipe in Mark Bittman’s How to Cook Everything Vegetarian.  In an effort to do something different – and make use of some of the ingredients I had on hand – I added cheese, Italian seasoning and tomato sauce to make the pancakes more flavorful and substantial.  They were delicious and I’ll definitely be making them again this summer as part of using up the zucchini bounty.

Print Recipe
Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 30 mins
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb zucchini grated (I used my food processor)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 egg lightly beaten
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • salt to taste
  • 1 and ½ cup white or white whole wheat flour
  • ¼ - ½ cup milk
  • Olive oil
  • 1 cup tomato sauce of your choosing

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combined the grated zucchini, shredded mozzarella, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and flour. Stir to combine evenly. Add the milk, starting with 1/4 cup and adding more as necessary, stirring until a batter that holds together is formed.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil until shimmering and hot.
  • Drop large spoonfuls of the mixture into the hot oil. Use the spoon to gently spread out and flatten the pancake.
  • Cook for 3 - 5 minutes per side, or until both sides are browned and the pancake is cooked through.
  • Meanwhile, heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan until heated through.
  • Serve immediately or keep warm in a 275 degree oven until all the pancakes are done. Serve the warm tomato sauce alongside or on top of the pancakes.

It’s hard to believe that 2022 is basically behind us. Though overall this year found me getting back to the person I want to be (post-babies and “post”-pandemic), I did not try nearly as many new recipes this year as I used to. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised to see that I’d made note of any new-to-me recipes I wanted to share in this post. This year’s list is short, but delicious. It includes recipes from @budgetbytes, @smittenkitchen and @howsweeteats.

@coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one @coastalmainebotanicalgardens continues to be one of the highlights of all my return trips to Boothbay and their annual Gardens Aglow event continues to impress. It was great to be back to walking the gardens instead of the pandemic drive through and there seemed to be more lights than ever.  I'm already looking forward to next year.

Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but t Fall in the Berkshires is always incredible, but this year we've had weather that has also been outstanding. The past 2 weekends have included time at Jaeschke Orchards, the Greylock Glen, and the Ashuwillticook Rail Trail as well as stopping to photograph any random foliage I see. 
Check out the last slide for video of some feathered friends we saw on a walk.

@freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favo @freshgrassfestival continues to be one of my favorite events each year, and it doesn't hurt that it's just minutes away from home. Enjoying the festival with my kids is definitely a different experience than without, but it's still a good time. The weather was especially cooperative today which was great for all the laps I did around the @massmoca campus pushing a stroller. I'm already looking forward to next year.
