Zucchini Corn Fritters
These Zucchini Corn Fritters are easy to make and full of fresh flavor, the perfect summer recipe!
Ingredients
- 3 cups packed shredded zucchini
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon light mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon dried dill weed
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 ounces shredded 2% Milk Mozzarella Cheese
- 1 ounce Parmesan cheese finely shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Place the shredded zucchini into a colander in your sink. Cover the zucchini with paper towels and squeeze down to release the excess liquid from the zucchini. Stir the zucchini and do it again with fresh paper towels once or twice more until minimal liquid is released.
- Transfer the shredded zucchini to a large mixing bowl and add the corn, eggs, light mayonnaise, parsley, chives, basil, salt, garlic powder, pepper, dill weed, flour, shredded Mozzarella, and shredded Parmesan cheese. Stir until well combined.
- Add a tablespoon of the olive oil to a large sauté pan, skillet, or griddle pan and bring over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add about half the zucchini mixture ¼ cup at a time, making ¼ cup piles and pushing down on the top of each one with the back of a spoon or spatula to flatten it into a patty (should make seven patties). Make sure the fritters aren’t crowding the pan and aren’t touching. Cook the fritters for 3-4 minutes until the bottoms are golden, and then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Remove these fritters to a serving plate and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Cook the remaining fritters the same way, making an additional seven patties (the second batch may cook slightly quicker), and transfer them to the serving plate when finished. Serve warm.
