Preparation

Step 1

Shred one medium zucchini, skin on. Note: DO NOT MAKE IT TOO FINE.

Step 2

Add salt to shredded zucchini, mixed well with your hands, and let it sit for ~5 min. There will be liquid coming out.

Step 3

Mixed the egg with the zucchini, add the flour, garlic powder, and onion powder, mix well to form a batter. It should be a little more solid than the pancake batter.

Step 4

Heat up a cast-iron frying pan on medium heat, spray with oil, and pour the batter in. You may need a spoon or spatula to help get the batter out and make it even in the pan.

Step 5

Cook ~10 min or until the edges turn solid. Flip the zucchini cake and cook the other side for ~5 min until both side are golden brown.
