Ingredients
- 1 cup fresh corn kernels (or canned, drained)
- 1 medium zucchini, grated
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
- 1/4 cup cornmeal
- 2 green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup plant-based milk
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out the excess moisture to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the corn, grated zucchini, flour, cornmeal, green onions, parsley, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
- Add the Liquid: Pour in the plant-based milk and mix until you have a thick batter. If the batter is too thick, add a little more milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, scoop spoonfuls of the fritter mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly with the back of a spatula.
- Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
- Serve: Enjoy these fritters warm, with a dipping sauce of your choice or simply on their own.
