Instructions

Start by grating your zucchini with a box grater. Then place zucchini in a colander and set in the sink and toss with ½ teaspoon salt. Let stand for 10 minutes, then wring zucchini dry in a clean kitchen towel. Place zucchini in a large bowl and gently mix in corn,eggs, flour, chives, and cornstarch; season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, drop ¼-cupfuls zucchini mixture into skillet, flattening slightly; cook until golden and crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel–lined plate; season with salt. Serve with soy dipping sauce or greek yogurt.

To make the dipping sauce combine the chili oil, vinegar, soy sauce and scallions and serve.

Notes: To make these soy-free, remove the soy and replace with coconut aminos. Or use sour cream instead of dipping sauce. To make these toddler friendly-serve without dipping sauce and remove the salt from seasoning the batter.
