Ingredients

Fritters

  • 1 c grated zucchini about one large zucchini or two small
  • 1 c corn kernels fresh or frozen
  • 1/4 c all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp corn starch
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/4 c olive oil

Dip

  • 1 c sour cream or plain yogurt
  • 1/2 c fresh basil leaves
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice
  • salt and pepper

Instructions

  • First, grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Season with salt and gently toss to combine; let sit for 10 minutes then use the towel to ring out the excess moisture from the zucchini. While you're waiting for the zucchini to drain blend together the Green Goddess Dip ingredients in a blender or food processor. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, scallions, flour, cornstarch, and egg; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop 1/4c of the batter for each fritter, flattening with the back of a spoon, and cook until the underside is nicely golden brown, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, about 1-2 minutes longer. Place the cooked fritters on a paper towel-lined tray to absorb any excess oil. Repeat the process until all of the batter is used up.
  • Transfer the fritters to a platter. Serve warm with green goddess dip on the side!

FAQS

Storing and Reheating:
  • Leftover fritters will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to five days. Reheat in a 400 F oven for 5 minutes.
