Healthy Zucchini Corn Fritters Recipes

Steps:

• Toss the zucchini with 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl; let stand 10 minutes. Wrap the zucchini in a kitchen towel and squeeze dry.
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. Set aside.
• Whisk the cornmeal, flour, baking soda, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl. Whisk the buttermilk and egg in a large bowl, then stir in the corn-onion mixture and zucchini. Add the cornmeal mixture and stir until just combined.
• Wipe out the skillet the corn-onion mixture cooked in. Pour in about 1/8 inch vegetable oil and place over medium heat. Working in batches, scoop scant 1/4 cupfuls of the batter into the oil and use the back of the measuring cup to flatten the scoops. Cook until the fritters are golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with salt. Serve warm or at room temperature. (You can make the fritters up to 2 hours ahead; reheat in a 375 degrees F oven on a rack set on a baking sheet.)

Steps:

• In a large bowl, stir together flour, baking powder, cumin, sugar, salt, and pepper.
• In a small bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, and butter. Whisk wet ingredients into dry ingredients. Stir in zucchini, corn, and cheese; mix well.
• Warm oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by the tablespoonful into hot oil. Fry until crisp and brown, turning once with tongs. Remove to paper towels.

Steps:

• Squeeze excess moisture from shredded zucchini and combine with corn kernels, onion, flour, and curry powder in a bowl. Stir in egg until thoroughly combined and season with salt and black pepper.
• Heat olive oil to a depth of about 1/8 inch in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter, 1/4 cup at a time, into hot oil and flatten fritters gently with a spatula. Cook until golden brown on both sides, 3 to 4 minutes per side.

Steps:

• Whisk together flour, baking powder, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, stir together butter, eggs, and milk; add to flour mixture, and stir until just combined. Add ham (if desired), zucchini, and corn, and stir until well blended.
• Heat 1 inch of oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it registers 350 degrees on a deep-fry thermometer.
• Working in batches of 4 or 5, gently drop 2 tablespoons batter into skillet for each fritter, pressing gently with a spatula to flatten. Cook, turning once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer with a spatula or slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Season fritters with salt and pepper while still hot. Make sandwiches with fritters using bacon, cheese, avocado, and tomato, if desired.
