Ingredients
2 medium zucchinis, grated and squeezed dry
1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons chopped parsley or chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Oil for pan-frying
1 cup Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 garlic clove, finely minced
1 tablespoon fresh dill or mint, chopped
Instructions
1. Grate the zucchini and squeeze out all excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine zucchini, corn, eggs, flour, Parmesan, herbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat.
4. Spoon 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan, flattening each slightly.
5. Cook 2–3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Transfer to paper towels to drain.
6. In a separate bowl, mix yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and fresh herbs to make the dip.
7. Chill the yogurt dip for at least 30 minutes. Serve the warm fritters with the chilled yogurt dip.
Notes
You can bake the fritters at 400°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway, for a healthier version.
Substitute chickpea flour or oat flour to make the recipe gluten-free.
To make vegan, use flaxseed egg and a plant-based yogurt alternative.
Add chili flakes to the yogurt dip for a spicy kick.
