Description

These Corn and Zucchini Fritters with Herb Yogurt Sauce offer a delightful mix of flavors with fresh ingredients. They’re simple to prepare and make for a great quick dinner or healthy snack option for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups freshly grated zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 12 teaspoons tabasco
  • 2 cups corn kernels cut from the cob
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • 8 oz crumbled feta
  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lemon freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini and toss it with kosher salt in a colander. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then squeeze out excess water and repeat the process after another 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add the whisked eggs and stir until smooth. Mix in garlic and tabasco.
  3. Fold in the squeezed zucchini, corn kernels, and scallions until well combined. Gently add the crumbled feta.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil.
  5. Drop approximately 3 tablespoon-sized dollops of the mixture into the skillet, flattening the tops slightly. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  6. Transfer the cooked fritters to a wire rack or paper towel and continue cooking the remaining mixture with added oil as needed. Sprinkle lightly with salt before serving.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible for the fritters to hold together well.
These fritters are best served fresh but can be reheated in an oven or air fryer for a crispy texture.
Feel free to customize with herbs and spices of your choice for extra flavor.
