My grandma used to eat these delicious veggie pancakes for dinner every day, and she lost weight in a month! These pancakes are light, nutritious, and easy to make. Forget about complicated diets – just enjoy this wholesome meal!
Ingredients:
- 1 zucchini
- 1 carrot
- 1 potato
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons flour (whole wheat or regular)
- Optional: black pepper, herbs, and spices for added flavor
- Cooking oil (olive or canola) for frying
Instructions:
- Prepare the Vegetables:
- Wash and peel the zucchini, carrot, and potato.
- Grate all three vegetables using a coarse grater.
- Place the grated vegetables in a large bowl.
- Remove Excess Moisture:
- Sprinkle the teaspoon of salt over the grated vegetables and let them sit for about 10 minutes.
- After 10 minutes, use your hands to squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the vegetables. This step is crucial to ensure the pancakes are not too soggy.
- Mix the Batter:
- In a separate bowl, beat the two eggs.
- Add the beaten eggs to the grated vegetables.
- Stir in the 2 tablespoons of flour until well combined.
- If desired, add a pinch of black pepper and your favorite herbs or spices to the mixture.
- Cook the Pancakes:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a small amount of cooking oil.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the vegetable mixture and place it in the pan. Flatten it slightly with the back of the spoon to form a pancake shape.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
- Fry Until Golden Brown:
- Cook the pancakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked pancakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Serve the veggie pancakes warm. They are perfect on their own or with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a side salad for added freshness.
These veggie pancakes are not only delicious but also a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet. Enjoy them for dinner and see how you can lose weight naturally without the need for strict di
