Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 0.75 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 large eggs
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Grate the zucchini using a box grater and place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible, then transfer the zucchini to a medium mixing bowl.
Step 2
Add corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned), finely chopped green onions, minced garlic, and grated parmesan cheese to the bowl with the zucchini. Mix to combine.
Step 3
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, then pour them into the zucchini mixture.
Step 4
In another bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the zucchini mixture and stir just until combined. Avoid overmixing.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the batter per fritter into the skillet, gently flattening them with the back of the spoon to form a patty shape.
Step 6
Cook the fritters for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure they cook through without burning.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet if necessary.
Step 8
Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!
