Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup fresh cilantro or parsley, chopped (optional)

Olive oil for frying

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving

Lemon wedges, for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Transfer the grated zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, twist the towel, and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This is an essential step to ensure your fritters are crispy rather than soggy.

    Mix Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the drained grated zucchini, sweet corn, all-purpose flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, green onions, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. If you're incorporating cilantro or parsley, add it to the mix as well. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined, forming a thick batter.

      Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour in a few tablespoons of olive oil and heat it over medium heat. Check that the oil is hot enough for frying, but be careful not to let it smoke.

        Fry the Fritters: Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the batter into the skillet, gently flattening each scoop to create a patty. Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on one side, or until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side. Depending on the size of your skillet, you may need to work in batches, adding more olive oil as required.

          Drain the Fritters: After achieving a beautiful golden color on both sides, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to soak up any excess oil.

            Stack and Serve: To create a visually appealing presentation, stack the fritters in groups of three on individual plates. Top each stack with a generous dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, and drizzle with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. For an added touch, sprinkle with extra herbs, if desired.

              Enjoy: Serve the fritter stacks immediately while they are warm and crispy, making them an excellent choice for an appetizer, a delightful side dish, or even a light main course!
