Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved lengthwise
1 1/2 cups diced zucchini
1 medium red onion, diced, divided
3 large cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 jalapeño chile, seeded and diced
1/2 teaspoon sea salt, divided
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Olive oil cooking spray
1/2 cup chopped cilantro, divided
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice, divided
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
2 cups corn kernels (thawed if frozen)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 400°F. In a bowl, combine tomatoes, zucchini, 1/2 onion, garlic, jalapeño, 1/4 teaspoon salt and oil; toss to coat. Spread on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray; roast, turning once, until tomatoes and zucchini are light brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Toss with 1/4 cup cilantro and 1 tablespoon juice; set aside. In a second bowl, combine flour, cumin, baking powder and remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add egg, remaining 1 tablespoon juice and 1/2 cup water; stir until smooth. Add corn and remaining 1/2 onion and 1/4 cup cilantro. Coat a large frying pan with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Form 1/4 cup corn mixture into a patty; repeat with remaining corn mixture to form 12 patties. Working in batches of 3 and coating pan with cooking spray as needed, cook patties, turning once, until brown, 5 to 8 minutes per side. Divide patties and salsa among 4 plates.

The fritters were a bit too salty. I think I'll use less salt in the batter next time.

The fritters were a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar in the batter next time.

The fritters were a bit dry. I think I'll add some more milk or yogurt to the batter next time.

The fritters were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

The fritters were delicious, but the salsa was a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use a milder pepper.

These corn fritters were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. The spicy zucchini salsa was the perfect complement, adding a bit of heat and freshness. I'll definitely be making these again.
