Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 pounds (675g) zucchini 2 medium
  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic pressed/minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup (62g) flour spooned and leveled
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup (80g) corn
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • clarified butter or vegetable oil for frying the fritters

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of salt and set aside for at least 15 minutes but better 30 minutes. This will help extract extra moisture from the zucchini.
  2. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients. Add the grated parmesan, eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, flour, and baking powder to a large bowl. Whisk to combine.
  3. Place the zucchini in a kitchen towel / cheesecloth and wring out the water. You can discard the liquid.
  4. Add the zucchini and corn to the bowl with the remaining ingredients, season to taste with salt and pepper. Stir with a spatula/spoon until combined.
  5. Heat the clarified butter or oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat (sadly, the more butter/oil the more delicious/crispy they will be).
  6. Scoop about 1 heaped tablespoon of batter per each fritter. Cook until golden brown then turn over and cook until golden brown and crispy on the other side.
  7. Transfer to a wire rack or a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
  8. Enjoy!
