Zucchini and Scallion Pancakes

Since I have been on Weight Watchers I have been eating lots of vegetables. It's a good thing that I love my veggies...LOL!!!  I was looking for a nice side dish to make with my grilled chicken. I checked out my "go to" Weight Watcher's recipe site, Skinnytaste, and I found something called Summer Squash and Chive Pancakes.  Well I didn't have the yellow Summer Squash or the fresh chives but I did have green Zucchini and Scallions so I decided to make it with those instead.  Thanks Gina for the idea!  They came out absolutely delicious!! I will definitely be making these again.

Zucchini and Scallion Pancakes

Serves 4

Ingredients

2 cups cooked shredded zucchini
1 egg
1 egg white
2/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
3 tbsp fresh scallions (green onions/spring onions)
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil cooking spray

Directions:

In a medium pot add zucchini and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cover, cook until soft. When it's soft, drain in a strainer; add to a food processor and pulse a few times until chopped. Add the zucchini to a medium bowl. Combine zucchini with remaining ingredients  and mix well. 

Heat a large non stick skillet on medium heat.  When hot spray with cooking spray and reduce heat to medium low. Drop 1/4 cupfuls of batter, flatten them with the back of a spoon and cook a few minutes or until golden. Turn and cook the other side until golden. Set them aside and repeat with the remaining batter. 

Enjoy!
