Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup cornmeal

2 large eggs

1/4 cup finely chopped green onions

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

Oil for frying (canola or olive oil)

Fresh cilantro or parsley, for garnish

Sour cream or Greek yogurt, for serving (optional)

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Gather the ends of the towel and twist to squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This step is crucial to keep your fritters from becoming soggy.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornmeal, baking powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well blended.

      Add Wet Ingredients: Crack the eggs into the bowl with the dry mixture and beat them together until you achieve a smooth consistency throughout.

        Incorporate Vegetables: Gently fold in the squeezed zucchini, fresh corn kernels, chopped green onions, and grated Parmesan cheese. Ensure all ingredients are evenly mixed for consistent flavor in every bite.

          Heat the Oil: In a large frying pan, pour in enough oil to cover about 1/4 inch of the pan. Heat over medium heat. To test if it's ready, drop a small spoonful of the batter into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.

            Form Fritters: Using a 1/4-cup measuring cup, scoop out the fritter mixture and carefully add it to the hot oil. Gently flatten the batter with a spatula to form even fritters. Fry in batches, ensuring there’s enough space between each one to cook evenly.

              Cook Until Golden: Fry the fritters for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they develop a golden brown, crispy exterior. Use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

                Stack and Serve: Create impressive stacks by layering 2-3 fritters on each plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro or parsley and serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt, if desired.

                  Enjoy your Zucchini Corn Fritter Stacks! Serve warm to fully appreciate the delightful combination of flavors and textures.
