Print Recipe

These crispy and savory zucchini corn fritters are packed with fresh vegetables and herbs, making them a perfect appetizer or light meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 cup corn kernels (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed)
  • 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2–3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean towel or cheesecloth.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, corn, onion, garlic, and herbs.
  3. Add the eggs and mix well to combine.
  4. Stir in the flour, Parmesan (if using), baking powder, salt, and pepper until the mixture forms a batter.
  5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  6. Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the batter for each fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly.
  7. Cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  8. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  9. Serve warm with sour cream, yogurt, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Make sure to thoroughly drain the zucchini to avoid soggy fritters.
  • You can substitute fresh herbs with dried, using 1 tsp dried per 1 tbsp fresh.
  • Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a spicy aioli for added flavor.
