Zucchini cakes are a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fritters or pancakes. Packed with fresh zucchini and simple ingredients, they are easy to make and perfect for a light snack, appetizer, or even a main dish. Here's how you can make these scrumptious zucchini cakes at home.
- Drain excess moisture: After grating the zucchini, make sure to squeeze out excess water using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. This will help the cakes hold together better and prevent them from becoming soggy.
- Season to taste: Feel free to add your favorite herbs and spices to the mixture. Garlic powder, onion powder, dill, or parsley can add extra flavor to your zucchini cakes.
- Use a non-stick pan: To ensure that your zucchini cakes cook evenly and don’t stick to the pan, use a non-stick skillet and heat it with a little oil before adding the batter.
- Make them gluten-free: For a gluten-free version, simply substitute the bread crumbs with gluten-free bread crumbs or almond flour.
- Freezing option: If you make extra zucchini cakes, they can be frozen for later. Lay them flat on a baking sheet to freeze initially, then transfer them to a freezer-safe bag. Reheat in an oven or toaster oven.
There you have it—a simple and tasty recipe for zucchini cakes. Whether you're serving them as a side dish, appetizer, or main course, these cakes are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the nutritious and delicious flavor of zucchini cakes with your favorite dipping sauce or as is.
