Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup sweet corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1 large egg

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

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (or cilantro)

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil (for frying)

Slider buns (mini burger buns or lettuce wraps for a low-carb option)

Optional toppings: aioli, avocado slices, or fresh greens

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Begin by grating the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Sprinkle a little salt over the grated zucchini and let it sit for about 10-15 minutes to draw out excess moisture. Afterward, place the zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze to remove the moisture.

    Mix the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, sweet corn, crumbled feta cheese, and chopped parsley. Next, add the egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until well combined; the batter should be thick and hold together.

      Form the Fritters: With clean hands, shape the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter), ensuring they are compact to hold together during frying.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat. You can check if the oil is hot enough by dropping a small amount of the batter into the skillet; it should sizzle on contact.

          Fry the Fritters: Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil (working in batches if necessary to avoid crowding). Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Add more oil between batches if needed.

            Drain Excess Oil: Once done, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

              Assemble the Sliders: Place each fritter onto a slider bun. Add your choice of toppings, such as aioli, sliced avocado, or fresh greens, and top with another bun or leave it open-faced.

                Serve: Enjoy your Zucchini Corn and Feta Fritter Sliders immediately while they’re warm and crispy!
