Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour for a gluten-free option)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp smoked paprika (for a hint of smokiness)

Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

Mini slider buns

Optional toppings: avocado slices, fresh arugula, or your favorite sauce (like tzatziki or ranch)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Place the grated zucchini into a clean kitchen towel. Twist the towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure your fritters are crispy rather than soggy.

    Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained grated zucchini, corn kernels, crumbled feta cheese, all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and a generous pinch of salt and pepper. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are well integrated.

      Form the Fritters: Preheat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the bottom. Once the oil is shimmering, use a tablespoon to scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the fritter mixture per slider. Gently flatten each scoop with the back of a spatula to form patties. Be careful not to overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary.

        Fry the Fritters: Cook the fritters for approximately 4-5 minutes on one side, or until they develop a beautiful golden brown color. Carefully flip each fritter and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes on the other side. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

          Assemble the Sliders: Take your mini slider buns and slice them in half. Place one fritter on the bottom half of each bun. Top each fritter with your choice of toppings, such as creamy avocado slices, fresh arugula, or a drizzle of your favorite sauce. Finally, add the top half of the bun to complete the sliders.

            Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm as an appetizer or light meal, with additional dipping sauce on the side if desired. Enjoy these delightful Zesty Zucchini Corn and Feta Fritter Sliders with friends and family!
