Fluffy Zucchini Pancakes
Inspired by savory Greek dish, kolokithokeftedes, these light and fluffy pancakes are loaded with shredded zucchini, feta, herbs, and lemon zest. Pan-fried to golden perfection, they make a delightful summer entrée or side dish.

Why They're a Wholesome Hit:
• Zucchini provides low starch energy, moisture, fiber, and nutrients like vitamin C
• Feta adds a savory, salty punch plus protein and calcium
• Herbs like parsley, dill, and mint lend fresh, vibrant flavors

Pro Tip:
Don't skip salting and draining the shredded zucchini first—this crucial step removes excess moisture for an optimally tender texture.
