Ingredients

  • 1 large zucchini (10 to 12 ounces) (2 cups shredded)
  • ½ cup fresh corn kernels
  • ¼ cup parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 2 scallions (chopped)
  • 1 serrano pepper (chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons Italian parsley (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¾ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil (for frying)

Instructions

  • Shred the zucchini and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. You can do this through a soup bag, cloth napkin, or through a strainer.
  • Add the shredded zucchini to a bowl and top with corn, parmesan cheese, flour, scallions, serrano pepper, parsley, dill, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and baking powder.
  • Whisk one egg and pour over the mixture.
  • Mix until all the ingredients are incorporated. Set aside while you heat the oil.
  • To cook the Zucchini and Corn Fritters, you can either deep fry or lightly fry until golden brown on both sides. This should take approximately one minute per side.

Buffalo Ranch Dipping Sauce

  • Mix ½ of a cup of ranch dressing with 1 to 2 tablespoons of Franks RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce. Add one teaspoon of hot sauce at a time and taste it as you go, until you're satisfied.
  • Serve the Zucchini Corn Fritters with the Buffalo Ranch Sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

  • This Zucchini and Corn Fritters recipe is pretty flexible and can be altered to your liking. For example, you can add fresh or powdered garlic, or maybe you prefer chives? You can replace the parsley with cilantro, or perhaps a handful of cheddar or feta cheese?
  • Instead of serving the fritters with the suggested hot buffalo ranch dip, you can serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.
  • The dip and oil are not included in the nutritional information because of all the variables.
