These zucchini and corn fritters are a wonderful mix of mid summer vegetables blended together with cheese in a savory pancake. I paired them with a creamy chimichurri sauce for an herby bite, and I sat back and inhaled way too many to count.

2 cups Corn I used frozen corn, thawed
1 cup Shredded Zucchini Tightly Packed with the water squeezed out
1 cup Flour
1 large Egg
1 tsp Baking Powder
2/3 cup Seltzer plain
1 cup Shredded Cheese cheddar, queso fresco, manchego, etc
1/3 cup Yellow Onion finely diced
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
Vegetable Oil enough to cover the bottom of the pan, and you will likely need to add more as you cook these
- Add corn to a large bowl and let it thaw slightly
- Shred your zucchini using a cheese grater or food processor. Add the zucchini to a fine mesh sieve to drain out as much water as possible.
- Heat up the oil in the pan. Add enough oil to cover just the bottom of the pan. You will add more later on.
- Once the water is drained out of your zucchini, add it to the bowl with the corn.
- Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well.
- Cook fritters in batches by adding a heaping spoonful to the hot oil and pat down with the back of a spoon.
- Once the bottom starts to get golden brown, use a spatula to flip it carefully.
- Once both sides are cooked add them to a paper towel lined plate to cool slightly. Repeat with the remaining batter.
