Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

2 large eggs

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil for frying (canola or olive oil)

Fresh cilantro or parsley for garnish

Sour cream or Greek yogurt for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Start by placing the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel. Gather the edges of the towel and twist it to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to prevent the fritters from turning out soggy.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir until well blended.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs to the dry mixture. Use a whisk to beat the eggs into the mixture until fully incorporated and smooth.

        Incorporate Vegetables: Gently fold the drained zucchini, fresh corn kernels, chopped green onions, and grated Parmesan cheese into the batter. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.

          Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, pour in enough oil to cover the bottom by about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium heat. To test if it’s ready, drop a small spoonful of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

            Form Fritters: Using a 1/4-cup measure, scoop up the fritter mixture and carefully place it into the hot oil. Gently flatten each fritter using a spatula for even cooking. Fry in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan for optimal crispiness.

              Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.

                Stack and Serve: To serve, create enticing stacks by layering 2-3 fritters on each plate. Garnish generously with fresh cilantro or parsley, and add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt on the side for added creaminess.

                  Enjoy your Zucchini Corn Fritter Stacks! Serve warm and savor the delightful combination of flavors and textures in this tasty dish.
