🥒 Zucchini Corn Fritters

Description
These Zucchini Corn Fritters are crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy inside, and packed with fresh vegetables. Sweet corn adds pops of flavor, while herbs and cheese make them irresistibly savory. They’re quick to prepare, budget-friendly, and always a crowd-pleaser — no wonder everyone asked for the recipe!

📝 Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 2 medium zucchini, grated

  • 1 cup sweet corn (fresh, canned & drained, or frozen & thawed)

  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour (or oat flour for a healthier option)

  • 2 tbsp fresh dill or parsley, finely chopped

  • 2 green onions, finely sliced (optional)

  • ½ tsp garlic powder

  • ½ tsp black pepper

  • ¾ tsp salt (or to taste)

  • 2–3 tbsp oil for frying

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Prepare the zucchini
    Grate zucchini and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel. This is key for crispy fritters.

  2. Mix the batter
    In a large bowl, combine zucchini, corn, cheese, eggs, herbs, green onions, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. Heat the pan
    Heat oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

  4. Cook the fritters
    Spoon about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan. Flatten slightly.
    Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. Serve warm
    Drain on paper towels and serve hot.

💡 Notes & Tips

  • Don’t skip squeezing the zucchini — excess water makes soggy fritters.

  • For extra crispiness, add 1 tbsp cornstarch to the batter.

  • Keep warm in a 200°F (95°C) oven if cooking in batches.

  • These freeze well after cooking — reheat in a pan or air fryer.
