Served with a quick, fresh tomato salsa, they are crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of WA-grown goodness.
What You'll Need
The Fritters
- 2 medium Zucchinis, grated coarsely
- 2 Sweet Corn cobs, kernels cut off
- 1 bunch Spring Onions, finely chopped
- 2 large Free Range Eggs, lightly whisked
- 1 cup self-raising flour (or GF flour)
- 100g feta cheese, crumbled (optional)
- Olive oil for frying
Fresh Tomato Salsa
- 3 Tomatoes, diced
- 1 Peeled Red Onion, finely diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp balsamic glaze or vinegar
- Salt and pepper
How to Make It
This is the secret to crispy fritters! Place your grated zucchini in a clean tea towel or sieve. Squeeze out as much excess liquid as you possibly can. Discard the liquid.
In a large bowl, combine the "squeezed" zucchini, corn kernels, spring onions, eggs, flour, and feta. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until just combined. If it's too dry, add a splash of milk.
Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the pan. flatten slightly. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
While fritters are cooking, toss the tomatoes, red onion, oil and balsamic in a small bowl. Serve fritters warm topped with the fresh salsa.
💡 Chef's Tips
Avoid Soggy Fritters: We can't stress this enough—squeeze that zucchini! If there is too much water, the fritters will be mushy inside.
Make Ahead: These are fantastic cold in school lunchboxes. They can also be frozen for up to a month.
Add Protein: Serve with a side of crispy bacon or smoked salmon for a fancy weekend brunch.
