Ingredients
  

  • 300 g zucchini, grated and squeezed dry about 2 medium zucchini
  • 120 g corn kernels fresh, frozen-thawed, or canned and well drained
  • 3 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 80 g blanched almond flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil for frying, divided

Method
 

  1. Grate the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater. Transfer to a clean kitchen towel and wring firmly until no more liquid drips out. You should have about 200 g once squeezed.
  2. Add the squeezed zucchini, corn, and scallions to a large mixing bowl.
  3. Add the almond flour, eggs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly combined.
  4. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes so the almond flour absorbs any remaining moisture.
  5. Heat 1.5 tbsp of oil in a wide non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
  6. Scoop about 3 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan. Press flat with the back of a spatula to about 1 cm thickness. Cook in batches of 3 to 4 without crowding.
  7. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the underside is deep golden brown and the edges look set.
  8. Flip carefully and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes until the second side is golden and the center feels firm when pressed.
  9. Transfer to a wire rack. Repeat with remaining batter, adding the rest of the oil to the pan as needed.
  10. Serve warm with Greek yogurt and lemon wedges, or your preferred dipping sauce.

Notes

Nutrition is estimated per serving of 3 to 4 fritters and does not include dipping sauce. Values will vary based on the water content of your zucchini after squeezing.
