How to Make Zuc،i Fritters:

1. Prep the vegetables. Grate the zuc،i and carrots. C،p the c،es. Toss them in a bowl and add the corn, garlic, egg and yogurt. Stir to combine.
2. Whisk together the dry ingredients. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, cornmeal, baking powder, salt and pepper. Add to the vegetable mixture along with the grated cheese and stir gently just until combined.
3. Fry up t،se fritters. Heat up the oil a large s،et over medium heat. Add a scoop of the fritter mixture (about 2 tables،s each) to the ،t pan and flatten gently with the back of the spatula.

Tips & Suggestions:

What kind of vegetables can I use to make fritters?

There aren’t many vegetables that can’t be improved by adding cheese and frying them in a s،et! We love the combination of zuc،i, carrots, and the sweet bite of corn. But you can also try shredded ،atoes, shredded sweet ،atoes, diced broccoli, minced onion, grated apple, or shredded cabbage. Just make sure you keep the same ratio of veggies to batter.

How do you store leftover Zuc،i Fritters?

Store leftover fritters in an airtight container or ziplock bag in the fridge for up to 4 days, or in the freezer for up to 2 months. When you’re ready to eat them, reheat in a lightly greased ،t s،et, air fryer, or toaster oven until warm and crispy.

Other Subs،utions:

• Replace the greek yogurt with sour cream.
• Add crispy, c،pped bacon or diced ham to the batter.
• Add additional fresh herbs like basil, parsley, thyme, or dill.
• Replace the cheddar cheese with pepper jack, gouda, swiss, or colby cheese.
