Instructions

On the large holes of your box grater, grate the zucchini. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a clean kitchen towel, tea towel or cheese cloth set into a medium bowl. Squeeze the as much liquid as possible out of the zucchini.
Add the zucchini to a mixing bowl with the corn, green onions, jalapeño, eggs, flour, parmesan, garlic powder and black pepper.
Use a rubber spatula to mix well until combined.
Heat the oil in a large 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Meanwhile, line a rimmed baking sheet or platter with paper towel.
Once hot, working in batches, use a 2-tablespoon scoop to measure out a few fritters at a time - I cook 4 at a time. Try not to over crowd the pan. Gently press with the scoop or a spatula to flatten.
Cook 3 to 4 minutes, carefully turning and cooking for an additional 2 to 3 minutes more or until golden brown. Transfer to the paper towel lined plate and repeat with remaining fritter batter.
Serve with dip of choice and snipped fresh chives. I love these with Yum Yum Sauce, but I would imagine ranch dressing would be delicious as well!
