Ingredients<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For about 12 pancakes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 2 medium courgettes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 2 medium potatoes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 egg<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 50 g of grated parmesan<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 3 tablespoons flour (you can also use wholemeal flour for a healthier version)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 1 clove of minced garlic (optional)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chopped fresh parsley (about 2 tablespoons)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Salt and Pepper To Taste<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Extra virgin olive oil to taste<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Preparation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. Prepare the vegetables:<\/strong>\n
        \n
      • Wash the courgettes and peel the potatoes.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Grate the courgettes and potatoes with a large-holed grater.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Place the grated vegetables in a colander, add a little salt and leave to rest for about 10 minutes. This will help release excess water.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Squeeze the vegetables:<\/strong>\n
          \n
        • After 10 minutes, squeeze the courgettes and potatoes well to remove excess water. You can use your hands or a clean cloth to help you do this.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Prepare the mixture:<\/strong>\n
            \n
          • In a large bowl, combine the squeezed vegetables, egg, parmesan, flour, minced garlic (if using) and parsley. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Add salt and pepper to your taste.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Form the pancakes:<\/strong>\n
              \n
            • Preheat the oven to 200\u00b0C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Line a baking tray with baking paper and brush lightly with olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Take small quantities of the mixture and shape into balls, then flatten them slightly to obtain pancakes about 1 cm thick.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Arrange the pancakes on the baking tray, leaving a little space between each one.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Cook in the oven:<\/strong>\n
                \n
              • Lightly brush the tops of the pancakes with a little olive oil.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Bake the pancakes in the preheated oven and cook for about 20-25 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking to brown them evenly. The pancakes will be ready when they are golden and crispy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

                Baked courgette and potato pancakes are delicious served hot, fresh out of the<\/strong> oven . You can accompany them with a yogurt sauce, tomato sauce or a simple green salad. They’re also great cold, making them ideal for a picnic or packed lunch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                Variants<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
                  \n
                • Add cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0For an extra pop of flavor, you can add small cubes of cheese (like mozzarella or cheddar) to the mixture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Spices and herbs:<\/strong>\u00a0Customize pancakes with your favorite spices and herbs, such as basil, oregano, paprika or cumin.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
                • Vegan version:<\/strong>\u00a0You can replace the egg with a flax egg (mix 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons water and let sit for 5 minutes) and the parmesan with nutritional yeast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
