Description

These Corn and Zucchini Fritters with Herb Yogurt Sauce are packed with flavor and easy to make. They combine fresh zucchini and corn into delicious fritters, making them perfect for a quick dinner or a healthy appetizer. Enjoy them with a refreshing herb yogurt sauce!

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
  • 1–2 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, toss it with kosher salt, and let it sit for about 10 minutes. Press out excess moisture, then let it sit again for another 10 minutes and squeeze out as much water as possible.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Mix in the whisked eggs until a smooth batter forms. Add the garlic and tabasco, mixing again.
  3. Stir in the drained zucchini, corn kernels, and scallions, combining well. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat it with olive oil. Add dollops of the mixture (about 3 tablespoons each) to the pan without overcrowding. Press down slightly on the tops of the fritters.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Carefully flip them and cook until golden on the other side too.
  6. Transfer the fritters to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain. Continue to cook the remaining batter, adding more oil as needed, and sprinkle each cooked fritter with a pinch of salt.

Notes

Ensure to squeeze out as much water from the zucchini to prevent soggy fritters.
You can adjust the amount of tabasco based on your spice preference.
These fritters are delicious served warm with the herb yogurt sauce.
