Corn & Zucchini Fritters

Published on

August 3, 2026

Ingredients

2 cups shredded zucchini
1 cup fresh corn kernels (about 2 ears)
2 large eggs
½ cup all-purpose flour
½ cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup finely diced yellow onion
1 tsp garlic powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2–3 Tbsp oil for cooking

Directions

Shred the zucchini. Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. This is the secret to crispy fritters.
In a large bowl, combine zucchini, fresh corn, eggs, flour, cheddar, onion, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Heat a thin layer of oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about ¼ cup batter per fritter into the skillet and gently flatten.
Cook 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate and serve warm.

Easy dipping sauce: Mix ½ cup sour cream + 1 Tbsp lime juice + 1 tsp honey + pinch of salt.
