Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup chopped scallions
  • 1 1/4 cup all purpose flour (chickpea flour for gluten free version)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 cup non-dairy milk (such as almond or soy milk)
  • 1 tablespoon ground flax or chia (mixed with 3.5 tablespoons of water for egg replacement)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt & pepper (to taste)
  • oil for frying (such as vegetable or olive oil)

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, mix the flaxseed meal and water. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to thicken and form a gel-like consistency.
  • Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the prepared flax egg, non-dairy milk, chopped onion, and chopped cilantro or parsley.
  • Add the grated zucchini and corn kernels to the wet ingredients. Mix well to combine.
  • Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until a batter forms. The batter should be thick enough to hold its shape.
  • Heat a skillet or frying pan over medium heat and add a thin layer of oil.
    Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter onto the skillet, flattening them slightly to form fritters.
    Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
    Serve the zucchini corn fritters warm, with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.
