Healthy Zucchini Corn Fritters Recipes

10-MINUTE ZUCCHINI & CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Place grated zucchini in the middle of a paper towel. Squeeze out as much of the moisture as you can.
• Place drained zucchini with all other remaining ingredients except oil in a medium bowl.
• Mix to combine everything.
• In a large skillet, warm your cooking oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, use a heaping tablespoon to portion the fritter batter into the hot pan.
• Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the fritter starts to turn golden brown. Flip, gently press down to flatten the fritter a bit and cook for another 2 minutes or until cooked through.
• Remove from pan and enjoy warm with sliced avocado, sour cream or dipping sauce of choice.

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and butter. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir in zucchini, corn, and cheese; mix well.
• Warm oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by the tablespoonful into hot oil. Fry until crisp and brown, turning once with tongs. Remove to paper towels.

ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• HINT: Grate your zucchini first and lay on a couple of paper towels so that some of the moisture will pull out of them.
• In a large batter bowl, mix together the AP Flour, baking powder, salt, and paprika. In a smaller bowl, mix together the buttermilk and beaten eggs.
• Add the mixed liquid ingredients to the dry ingredients for the zucchini corn fritter batter, whisking or stirring well until smooth and combined (it's okay to have a few lumps). Then gently fold in the sweet corn. Add the rest of the chopped veggies (red pepper, chopped onion, jalapeno and shredded zucchini*. Gently fold together until batter and veggies are distributed.
• Heat a 10-12 inch skillet over medium-high heat with oil, this is my favorite skillet. You don't need to submerge the zucchini corn fritters in oil, but enough for them to get a good crisp; try 3-4 tablespoons to start.
• Using a medium cookie scoop or a tablespoon carefully place the corn fritter batter into the hot oil. Carefully (flip away from you so you avoid splatter) flip sweet corn fritters after about 2 ½ minutes until crisp and golden, remove and set on sheet pan. *Fritter batter should mound slightly, not falling off the spoon, see notes for tips if too runny or too thick.
• Working in batches, fry up all fritters (or as many as you need, the batter will hold for about 6 hours in fridge) and finish up by baking in a preheated 350 degree oven. Bake until slightly puffed, about 10-15 minutes.

ZUCCHINI-CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the corn-onion mixture and zucchini. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
• Wipe out the skillet the corn-onion mixture cooked in. Pour in about 1/8 inch vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop scant 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the oil and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten the scoops. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (You can make the fritters up to 2 hours ahead; reheat in a 375 degrees F oven on a rack set on a baking sheet.)

HEALTHY ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine shredded zucchini, corn, green onions, chickpea flour, garlic, cumin, oregano, thyme, salt & pepper. Stir together until well combined. Allow to sit for at least 5 minutes. This step is important because the flour will absorb the moisture from the zucchini and create a batter.
• Warm a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Grease with preferred cooking oil then scoop out 1/4 cup of the zucchini mixture at a time into the skillet. Cook for about 3-5 minutes on each side, until light golden brown. Serve warm with black beans, salsa, nacho cashew cream and/or avocado then enjoy!

CURRIED ZUCCHINI CORN FRITTERS

Steps:

• Squeeze excess moisture from shredded zucchini and combine with corn kernels, onion, flour, and curry powder in a bowl. Stir in egg until thoroughly combined and season with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil to a depth of about 1/8 inch in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into hot oil and flatten fritters gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

CORN AND ZUCCHINI FRITTERS

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together butter, eggs, and milk; add to flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Add ham (if desired), zucchini, and corn, and stir until well blended.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Working in batches of 4 or 5, gently drop 2 tablespoons batter into skillet for each fritter, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer with a spatula or slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season fritters with salt and pepper while still hot. Make sandwiches with fritters using bacon, cheese, avocado, and tomato, if desired.
