¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ tsp. black pepper
10 RITZ Crackers, finely crushed (about 1/3 cup)

Heat 2 tsp. oil in large nonstick skillet on medium heat. To make 4 pancakes, spoon zucchini mixture into skillet, using about 3 Tbsp. zucchini mixture for each pancake; flatten each with back of spatula to make 3-inch round. Cook 3 min. on each side or until golden brown on both sides. Transfer to ovenproof platter; place in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining oil and zucchini mixture.
