The recipe for ultra-light zucchini pancakes to bake in the oven

2 medium
zucchini 1 medium
onion 2 eggs
1/2 cup buckwheat flour (or other flour of your choice)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or cheese of your choice)
salt and pepper to taste
Chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil, thyme) or spices to taste
Instructions:
Preheat the oven: Turn on the oven to 200°C and heat it up while you prepare the ingredients.
Prepare zucchini: Wash the zucchini and grate it finely. Once grated, place them in a colander and sprinkle some salt on top. Let them drain for about 10 to 15 minutes to remove excess moisture.
Prepare the onion: Finely chop the onion and set aside.
Combine the ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and add the flour, grated cheese, chopped fresh herbs, onion, and chili powder to taste. Mix well until smooth.
Add zucchini: Once the zucchini has released its water, squeeze it with a clean kitchen towel or your hands and remove any excess liquid. Add to the mixture and mix gently until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Form the pancakes: Prepare a baking tray lined with lightly oiled baking paper. Use a spoon to scoop out parts of the dough and place them on the baking sheet, flattening them slightly to form pancakes.
Bake the pancakes: Bake the pancakes in a preheated oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Remember to flip them halfway through cooking for even browning.
Serve hot: Once done, remove the zucchini fritters from the oven and serve warm.
Tips and variations: For an even lighter version,
you can use only egg whites instead of whole eggs.
Add a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of grated lemon zest for a touch of freshness.
Experiment with different herbs and spices to adjust the flavor of your pancakes.
To make the pancakes even crispier, you can sprinkle them with some breadcrumbs before putting them in the oven.
With this recipe, you can enjoy the delicious flavor of zucchini fritters without a guilty conscience thanks to their light and crunchy preparation.
