Creating the perfect batter for Zesty Zucchini Corn and Feta Fritter Sliders hinges on the right balance of ingredients. Start by ensuring your zucchini is well-drained after grating; excess moisture can lead to a soggy fritter. To achieve the desired texture, mix the dry ingredients first: all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, and seasonings in a bowl. Separately, combine your wet ingredients, including the beaten eggs, crumbled feta, and any herbs you choose. Gradually fold the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, ensuring everything is evenly distributed without overmixing. This will help maintain a light, airy fritter.

Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with gluten-free flour)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Mini slider buns

Optional toppings: avocado slices, fresh arugula, or your favorite sauce

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel. Wrap it tightly and twist to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This helps prevent the fritters from becoming soggy during cooking.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated zucchini, corn kernels, crumbled feta cheese, all-purpose flour, eggs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and form a consistent batter.

      Form the Fritters: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil, enough to coat the bottom of the skillet. Once the oil is hot, scoop approximately 2 tablespoons of the fritter mixture per slider. Gently flatten each scoop with the back of a spatula to form a fritter. Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.

        Fry the Fritters: Sauté the fritters for about 4-5 minutes on one side, or until they are golden brown. Carefully flip them over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side until both sides are crispy and golden. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

          Assemble the Sliders: Slice the mini buns in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each bun, place one fritter. Top with avocado slices, a handful of fresh arugula, and a drizzle of your favorite sauce. Finally, place the top half of the bun to complete the slider.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm as a delicious snack or appetizer. For extra flavor, accompany them with a side of dipping sauce if desired. Enjoy these delightful Zucchini Corn and Feta Fritter Sliders!
