Servings
Approximately 12 mini fritters
Ingredients
  • 1 cup Grated Zucchini
  • 1/2 cup Canned Corn (drained)
  • 1/4 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tablespoons Grated Parmesan Cheese (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Chopped Fresh Chives
  • 1/4 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil

Preparation

In a medium bowl, combine the grated zucchini, drained corn, flour, egg, parmesan cheese (if using), chopped chives, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is evenly distributed.

Cooking

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the zucchini mixture into the skillet, forming small fritters. Don't overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if needed.

Frying

Cook the fritters for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Flip them carefully with a spatula.

Serving

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve immediately. They are delicious on their own or with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
