Zucchini latkes are a nutritious option as they provide essential vitamins and minerals while being lower in potassium compared to traditional potato latkes.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium zucchini

• ½ cup chopped green onion

• 2 large eggs

• 2 tbsp cornstarch

• 1-2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions:

1. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out excess liquid using cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel.

2. In a medium bowl, combine the zucchini with the chopped green onion. Add the eggs and cornstarch, then stir until fully incorporated.

3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the pan.

4. Flatten each latke with a spatula and fry until golden brown on both sides.

5. Transfer to a paper towel–lined plate to drain any excess oil.

6. Serve hot or cold, and enjoy!

Tips:

• A great substitute for potato latkes, with more protein and fiber.

• Bake in batches in the oven instead of frying, if preferred.

• These freeze well and reheat quickly in the oven or microwave.
