Instructions

Place the vegetables in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. If using zucchini, transfer to a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

In a large bowl, whisk the egg. Add the flour, salt, basil and garlic powder and stir to combine. Fold in the chopped vegetables until the batter comes together.

Heat a thin layer of oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Drop 1 tablespoon of batter per pancake into the pan and gently flatten.

Cook for 1-2 minutes per side until the edges look set and the bottoms are golden brown.

Serve with marinara sauce, ketchup, sour cream or favorite dipping sauce. We like to top with kimchi!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Moisture Management 💧
Pat your vegetables dry with paper towels and salt them 5 minutes before mixing to draw out excess moisture, preventing soggy pancakes and ensuring crispiness.
Finely Grate Your Veggies ✂️
Use a box grater or food processor to finely grate vegetables rather than chopping—smaller pieces distribute evenly and cook through faster for consistent texture throughout.
Bind with Restraint 🥚
Use just enough flour and egg to barely bind the mixture; too much creates dense, heavy pancakes, while the right ratio keeps them light and crispy on the edges.
Oil Temperature is Critical 🌡️
Heat your oil to medium-high (around 350°F) before cooking so the exterior crisps immediately, creating a golden crust while the vegetables cook through inside.
Don't Flip Too Early ⏱️
Wait 3-4 minutes before flipping to allow the bottom to fully set and turn golden brown—resist the urge to move them around, as this develops the best crispy exterior.
