Instructions
Creating Healthy Corn and Zucchini Fritters is simple when following these straightforward steps:
1. Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out excess moisture to prevent soggy fritters.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
3. Add Wet Ingredients: Create a well in the center of dry ingredients and add the egg. Stir until well combined.
4. Incorporate Veggies: Add the grated zucchini, sweet corn, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley to the mixture. Stir until everything is well mixed.
5. Heat the Pan: In a frying pan, heat a couple of tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
6. Cook Fritters: Using a tablespoon, scoop the fritter mixture into the pan, flattening them slightly. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
7. Drain and Serve: Remove fritters from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Repeat until the mixture is cooked.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle with additional parsley if desired before serving.
Enjoy these fritters hot or warm for the best taste!
