Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups freshly grated zucchini
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 large eggs whisked
  • 2 cloves garlic minced or grated
  • 1–2 teaspoons tabasco
  • 2 cups corn kernels cut from the cob
  • ½ cup sliced scallions
  • 8 oz crumbled feta
  • Extra virgin olive oil for frying
  • ½ cup greek yogurt
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 lemon freshly squeezed
  • 1 clove garlic grated
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ cup finely chopped fresh dill or parsley

Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini, place in a colander, and sprinkle with kosher salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes, then press out excess moisture. Repeat after another 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, and salt. Add whisked eggs to form a smooth batter. Mix in garlic and tabasco.
  3. Incorporate squeezed zucchini, corn kernels, scallions into the batter and combine. Gently fold in feta cheese.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat with olive oil.
  5. Drop ~3 tablespoon sized portions into the skillet (avoid overcrowding) and lightly flatten them. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.
  6. Transfer cooked fritters to a wire rack or paper towel-lined pan to absorb excess oil. Repeat, adding more oil as needed, and sprinkle with salt.

Notes

For extra flavor, you can add diced onions or bell peppers to the fritter mixture.
These fritters are best served warm. They can be reheated in a skillet for a few minutes before serving if made ahead of time.
The herb yogurt sauce can be customized by using your favorite herbs.
