Ingredients

• 2 medium Carrot, grated
• 3 stalks Green onion, finely sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour or gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 1 cup Corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen)
• 1 small Red bell pepper, finely diced
• 0.25 cup Red onion, finely diced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt (for salsa)
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (for salsa)

Directions

Step 1

1. Grate the zucchini and carrot, then place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze tightly to remove as much moisture as possible.

Step 2

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, green onion, chopped parsley, eggs, flour (or gluten-free flour), baking powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.

Step 3

3. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

4. Scoop 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet, flatten slightly with a spatula, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp. Remove from the skillet and drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.

Step 5

5. To make the corn salsa, combine the corn kernels, diced red bell pepper, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Mix well.

Step 6

6. Serve the vegetable fritters warm with a generous helping of the fresh corn salsa on the side.
