Tips:
- To ensure a crispy exterior and tender interior, it's crucial to use a combination of grated and shredded zucchini. Grating the zucchini provides a finer texture for better binding, while shredding creates larger pieces that add a delightful crunch.
- For a flavorful and aromatic patty, incorporate fresh herbs such as dill, thyme, or basil into the batter. These herbs complement the zucchini's mild flavor and elevate the overall taste.
- To achieve golden-brown pancakes, use a well-seasoned skillet or griddle over medium heat. This prevents sticking and ensures an even cook.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook the patties in batches, leaving enough space between them to prevent steaming and promote even browning.
- Serve the zucchini patty pancakes immediately for the best texture and flavor. Accompany them with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, tzatziki, or aioli, to enhance the taste.
