Ingredients
- 2 Medium size Zucchini
- 1 Yellow Onion
- 4 Tbsp All-Purpose Flour

- 1/3 tsp Garlic Powder
- 3 Tbsp Avocado Oil or Vegetable Oil
- 2/3 Cup Corn Kernels
- 1 Large Egg
- 3 tbsp Chopped Fresh Herbs Parsley, Dill or Cilantro
Instructions
- First wash and grate the zucchini. Then place it in a large bowl and sprinkle with a pinch of salt, stir. Allow the zucchini to sit for about 5 minutes for the excess moisture from the zucchini to be drawn out. Drain the zucchini and squeeze it dry with paper towels. Return it to the bowl
- Grate the onion, or place it in the food process and process until finely diced.
- Add the chopped onion and the corn into the bowl. Stir until well mixed.
- Now add in the flour, egg, salt and spices.
- Add chopped herbs and mix all the ingredients thoroughly. If your mixture seems too wet you can add a little more flour to bind the fritters together.
- Heat oil in a large skillet. Spoon a small amount of zucchini into the pan and press into round or oval fritters with the back of a spatula. Fry on medium heat for 3-4 minutes.
- Flip the fritters and continue to fry for another 3 minutes.
- Put the finished fritters onto a paper towel lined plate to absorb excess oil.
- Serve while still warm.
