Zucchini Pancakes

Zucchini Pancakes

If you have some garden zucchinis hanging around and you're not sure what to do with them all, try some different recipes! These savory zucchini pancakes pair perfectly with a hearty plate of spaghetti. It's also a great way of sneaking in some veggies too! My little guys ate these right up and it really surprised me. I think the crunchy texture on the outside made them more inviting to eat. I added some onion powder and fresh minced up parsley to the mix and used some olive oil to fry them in instead of butter. It made about 5 pancakes. Give them a try and see what your family has to say!
