Instructions

Grate the zucchini and place it in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, green onions, parsley, eggs, flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.
Heat a few tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of batter per fritter into the skillet and flatten slightly with a spatula.
Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve warm, optionally with sour cream or yogurt on the side.

Notes

You can add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
These fritters can be made ahead and reheated in the oven or air fryer.
