Low Carb Zucchini Pancakes

Ingredients

• 1 pound zucchini, grated
• Salt to taste
• 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 4 leaves basil, chopped
• 1 pinch ground nutmeg
• 1 pinch onion powder
• Ground black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed

Directions

Squeeze grated zucchini in paper towels to release as much water as possible. Spread zucchini on fresh paper towels and sprinkle with salt; let sit for 30 minutes to release additional water; squeeze again.

Mix Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions, garlic, basil, nutmeg, onion powder, and black pepper in a bowl; add zucchini. Stir to combine.

Heat butter and olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Form golf ball-sized zucchini patties and place in hot frying pan. Fry until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
