Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh or frozen sweet corn

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

2 large eggs

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

1/4 cup fresh chopped herbs (such as cilantro or parsley)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Olive oil, for frying

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Sliced avocado, for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by grating the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or paper towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This step is crucial for achieving crispy fritters.

    Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sweet corn, flour, cornmeal, and grated Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir in the eggs, baking powder, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, and season with salt and pepper. Add the chopped herbs and mix until everything is well combined. The batter should be thick; if it’s too loose, add a little more flour.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. You may need to add more oil as you cook the fritters, so keep it handy.

        Fry the Fritters: Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter (about 2 tablespoons for each fritter) into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of the spoon. Fry the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

          Stack and Serve: To serve, create stacks of 2-3 fritters each. Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt and sliced avocado, if desired. Drizzle with additional olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs for garnish.

            Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful appetizer, side dish, or even a light main course.
