Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cup grated zucchini (about 1 medium-sized zucchini)
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- olive oil, as needed
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions (about 2 scallions)
Directions
- Combine the zucchini, scallions, flour, sugar, and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Toss to combine. Add the egg, lemon juice, and zest and stir until well incorporated.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter (you can use more olive oil if keeping this recipe dairy-free) in a large cast-iron skillet. Once the butter is melted and the oil is fairly hot, drop in the zucchini mixture in tablespoonfuls, making sure not to crowd the pan (about 5 at a time). Cook for about 1 minute on each side until browned and semi-firm. Remove to a paper towel to drain and repeat with the remaining zucchini mixture, adding more oil as necessary.
