Zucchini hash browns are a delightful twist on the traditional potato version. They are light, nutritious, and packed with flavors from garlic and onion. Perfect for a healthy breakfast or a versatile side dish, these hash browns are easy to whip up in no time.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the zucchini thoroughly.
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor.
- Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure your hash browns are crispy and not soggy.
- In a large bowl, beat the two eggs.
- Add the grated zucchini to the eggs.
- Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt.
- Mix well until all ingredients are combined evenly.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Ensure the oil is hot before adding the zucchini mixture to achieve a crispy texture.
- Spoon the zucchini mixture into the hot skillet, pressing down lightly with a spatula to flatten into patties.
- Cook each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet; you may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your pan.
5. Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the hash browns to a plate lined with paper towels to remove any excess oil.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious zucchini hash browns!
Tips:
- Make sure to drain the zucchini well after grating to remove excess moisture, which will help the hash browns crisp up better.
- You can add finely chopped fresh herbs like parsley or dill for an added burst of flavor.
- For extra crispiness, cook the hash browns on medium-high heat and avoid overcrowding the pan.
- If you prefer, you can substitute fresh garlic and onion for the powders for a more intense flavor.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt on top for a creamy contrast.
These delicious zucchini hash browns with garlic and onion are sure to become a favorite. Not only are they easy to make, but they are also packed with nutrients and flavor. Enjoy them as a standalone dish or as a complement to your favorite meals.
