    Ingredients 

    Healthy Corn and Zucchini Fritters

    • 1 medium zucchini shredded, about 2 cups
    • 2 pinches kosher salt divided
    • 1 cup corn kernels about 1 ear of sweet corn
    • 1 shallot minced
    • ½ cup panko
    • ¼ cup flour
    • ½ cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese grated
    • 1 large egg
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper
    • ¼ cup basil chiffonade, plus more for serving
    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral cooking oil divided
    • Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream

    Pan-Roasted Corn (for serving)

    • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral cooking oil, divided
    • 2 tablespoon corn kernels
    • 1 pinch kosher salt
    Prevent your screen from going dark

    Instructions

    • Shred zucchini and remove moisture - Use a hand grater or a food processor with a grater disc to grate the zucchini. Place shredded zucchini in a colander in the sink and sprinkle with a pinch of kosher salt. Allow the zucchini to sit for about 10 minutes to release moisture. Gently press the remaining moisture out of the zucchini. This prevents the fritters from getting soggy.
      1 medium zucchini, 1 pinch kosher salt
    • Mix ingredients - Add zucchini, corn kernels, shallot, panko, flour, parmigiano-reggiano, garlic powder, a pinch of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and basil to a large mixing bowl. Toss until combined. Beat an egg in a small bowl and fold into the mixture until well combined.
      1 medium zucchini, 2 pinches kosher salt, 1 cup corn kernels, 1 shallot, ½ cup panko, ¼ cup flour, ½ cup parmigiano-reggiano cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 pinch freshly ground black pepper, ¼ cup basil, 1 large egg
    • Cook the fritters - Heat a large pan or braiser over medium high heat and add oil. Scoop about 3-4 tablespoons of batter and form each scoop into 8-10 patties. Cook the patties in batches as to not overcrowd the pan. Place the patties in the pan and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until both sides are golden. Line a plate with a paper towel and transfer the fritters to the plate to blot the excess oil from the fritters.
      1 tablespoon avocado oil or neutral cooking oil
    • Pan roast corn (optional) - Pan roast corn while the fritters cook for an additional topping. In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add corn and cook for about 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Use a splatter screen if available, as the corn can heat and pop out of the pan otherwise. Once the corn turns golden brown, stir in salt and remove from heat.
      2 tablespoon corn kernels, 1 tablespoon avocado oil
    • Serve - Serve with Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream and sprinkle with basil and roasted corn.¼ cup basil,Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream
      Greek yogurt, creme fraiche, or sour cream, ¼ cup basil

    Notes

    Top Tips
    • Be sure to press the moisture out of the zucchini so they don't get soggy.
    • Use a quarter cup measuring cup to scoop the batter. This results in uniform patties that will have the same thickness and cook evenly.
    • Make sure the pan isn't too hot or the fritters will burn. If your pan starts to smoke in between batches, let the pan cool down.
    • Cook fritters in a neutral oil that can tolerate high heat. If you use butter or olive oil, it will likely burn.
    • Don't flip the fritters until you see some browning underneath or they could crumble.
