These are not your grandma’s pancakes. There’s no maple syrup in sight (unless you’re feeling rebellious). Instead, these golden beauties are crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and loaded with flavor that says “I know my way around a skillet.” We’re talking zucchini, onion, garlic, basil, red chili, and a salty crumble of feta that makes every bite a little adventure in savory perfection.

We are excited to introduce Zucchini Pancakes with Basil and Feta…and an amazing Pesto Dip. The secret ingredient here might not be in the pancakes at all—it’s the pesto dip that comes alongside them. Bright, herby, and just enough punch to make you dip twice, this pesto takes the pancakes from “weekday lunch” to “I should probably open a café.”

What makes these pancakes so fun is their versatility. They’re equally happy sitting next to a veggie burger, stacked on a brunch platter, or crumbled over a crisp green salad like edible confetti. However you serve them, they somehow manage to feel both wholesome and indulgent—a rare combination worth celebrating.

So dust off that griddle (or better yet, keep reading for a better one), grab a handful of basil, and get ready to turn the humble zucchini into something seriously crave-worthy.

Reviews

If your current griddle has seen one too many pancake mornings and not enough proper cleanings (no judgment here), it might be time for an upgrade. This Cast Iron Griddle is the kind of kitchen gear that makes you feel like you’ve leveled up.

Built for both gas grills and stove tops, this griddle handles high heat like a champ—whether you’re searing, flipping, or crisping. The even heat distribution means perfect browning every time, and cleanup couldn’t be simpler. A quick wipe-down and you’re back to spotless in seconds.

Use it indoors when it’s cold out or take it to the grill when the weather’s right. Either way, you’ll wonder how you ever cooked without it. It’s rugged enough to last a lifetime, sleek enough to leave out, and versatile enough to make your kitchen (or patio) feel like a pro cook’s playground.

Foodness Fun - Facts

Think zucchini is just another mild-mannered veggie? Think again. Technically, it’s a fruit…yes, a fruit because it grows from the zucchini flower and contains seeds. (Go ahead and blow a few minds at your next dinner party.)

Zucchini is over 95% water, which means it’s basically nature’s way of sneaking hydration into your meal. That’s why it cooks so quickly and stays tender even when crisped up on a griddle.

Here’s another fun twist: the world’s largest zucchini on record weighed over 65 pounds. Imagine trying to spiralize that.

Whether you’re grating it into pancakes, roasting it for dinner, or baking it into bread, zucchini has mastered the art of being everyone’s sidekick. Humble, versatile, and endlessly adaptable—it’s the unsung hero of summer cooking.
