Zucchini Corn Fritters
Crispy zucchini corn fritters that everyone loves. Easy to make, super crunchy, kid-approved, and perfect as a snack, meal, or sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini (300 g before squeezing), grated and squeezed very well
- 180 g corn (about 1⅓ cups), fresh, canned, or frozen, well drained
- 60-80 g grated cheddar cheese (or another hard cheese)
- 2 large eggs
- 50 g fine breadcrumbs (about ½ cup)
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- Neutral oil, for frying
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini on a medium grater and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
- Transfer the zucchini to a bowl and add the eggs, corn, grated cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
- Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the breadcrumbs can absorb excess moisture.
- Heat oil in a wide pan over medium heat until it reaches about halfway up the height of a fritter.
- Form the mixture into small patties, pressing gently so they hold together.
- Fry until deeply golden on the bottom, about 3–4 minutes, then flip once and fry the other side until golden.
- Transfer to a colander or paper towel–lined plate and repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Serve immediately while hot and crispy.
