Crispy Vegetable Pancakes

These easy vegetable pancakes are a delicious way to pack more veggies into any meal. Light, crispy, and flavorful, they work perfectly as a snack, side dish, or light main.

Ingredients

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 3 spring onions, sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, finely shredded
  • 1 zucchini, finely shredded
  • 1/2 cup chopped spinach (optional)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions

1. Prepare the Vegetables

  1. Grate the carrots and zucchini.
  2. Place the grated vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly to remove as much liquid as possible. This helps the pancakes turn out crisp, not soggy.
  3. Finely chop the onion, spring onions, and spinach (if using). Set all vegetables aside.

2. Make the Batter

  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.
  2. Add the flour and milk gradually, whisking continuously until the mixture is smooth with no lumps.
  3. Season the batter with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper, stirring until evenly mixed.

3. Combine Everything

  1. Add the shredded carrots, zucchini, chopped onion, spring onions, and spinach to the bowl.
  2. Stir until all the vegetables are thoroughly coated in the batter and evenly distributed.

4. Cook the Vegetable Pancakes

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil.
  2. Spoon roughly 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture into the pan for each pancake, gently flattening with the back of a spoon to form a round.
  3. Cook for about 2–3 minutes on each side, or until the pancakes are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  4. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding a little more oil to the pan as needed.

5. Serve

  • Stack the hot vegetable pancakes on a serving plate.
  • Serve immediately with a spoonful of sour cream or yogurt.
  • They go especially well with a fresh green salad or your favorite dipping sauce.

Enjoy your crispy vegetable pancakes!
