Instructions

Step 1

Grate the Zucchini

Begin by grating the **zucchini** using a box grater. Make sure to use a **small zucchini** for optimal texture. After grating, gently squeeze out any excess moisture to prevent the flatbread from becoming soggy.

Step 2

Mix the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini with the **all-purpose flour**, **eggs**, and **salt**. Mix everything together until you achieve a uniform consistency that resembles **thick sour cream**. This mixture will form the base for your flatbread.

Step 3

Cook the Flatbread

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a few drops of **vegetable oil**. Once the oil is hot, pour in the zucchini mixture to form the **flatbread**. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Make sure to flip carefully to avoid breaking the flatbread.

Step 4

Assemble the Flatbread

Once cooked, spread a layer of **ricotta cheese** on top of the flatbread. Next, arrange the **cucumber**, **spinach**, **cooked shrimp**, and **young peas** over the ricotta. These fresh ingredients create a delightful topping that complements the zucchini base perfectly.

Servings

Imagine serving these *golden zucchini flatbreads* with a dollop of creamy ricotta spread, topped with fresh spinach and juicy sautéed shrimp! 🥗 Add a sprinkle of young peas for a pop of color and crunch.

You can even get playful with your serving idea! Try stacking them high and drenching with a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil. This adds a beautiful flavor and makes for a stunning presentation. 🎉 A sprinkle of fresh herbs can also elevate this dish, adding an aromatic touch and a feast for the eyes. Get ready to impress your guests with these easy yet fancy flatbreads!

Equipment

Box Grater

This handy tool will help you easily shred the zucchini. Look for one with a wide base to save time and effort while grating!

We recommend:

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: To make these zucchini flatbreads gluten-free, simply swap the all-purpose flour for a gluten-free flour blend that includes xanthan gum. 🌾

Vegan Variation: For a vegan twist, replace the eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water per egg) to bind the mixture. Use dairy-free ricotta for the topping, and you're good to go! 🌱

Faq

  • Can I use frozen zucchini for this recipe?

    While fresh zucchini is best for texture, you can use frozen as long as it's well-drained and excess moisture is squeezed out.

  • How do I know when the flatbreads are done cooking?

    Look for a golden brown color on both sides, and ensure they are cooked through by gently pressing down with a spatula.

  • What if my mixture is too watery?

    If your flatbread mixture is too runny, add a bit more flour to achieve the desired consistency of thick pancake batter.

  • Can I add other vegetables to the flatbreads?

    Absolutely! Grated carrots or chopped spinach can add color and nutrition. Experiment with what you have on hand!

  • What’s the best way to store leftovers?

    Store any leftover flatbreads in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. You can reheat them in a skillet for best results!

  • Can I freeze the flatbreads?

    Yes! Allow them to cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to a month.
