Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, thawed)

3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/4 cup green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Cooking oil (for frying)

Mini slider buns

Fresh arugula or spinach (for serving)

Tzatziki sauce or avocado sauce (for topping, optional)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: Begin by grating the zucchinis using a box grater or a food processor. Once grated, transfer the zucchini to a clean kitchen towel. Gather up the sides of the towel and twist to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible. This step is crucial to ensure that the fritters achieve a crispy texture rather than become soggy.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, corn kernels, crumbled feta cheese, all-purpose flour, eggs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, baking powder, salt, black pepper, dried oregano, and smoked paprika. Using a spatula, stir the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly combined and form a cohesive batter.

      Heat Oil: Pour approximately 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into a large non-stick skillet. Heat the skillet over medium heat until the oil becomes hot and shimmers. You may need to add additional oil as you fry the fritters, so keep more on hand.

        Fry the Fritters: When the oil is ready, use a 2-tablespoon measuring spoon to scoop out portions of the fritter mixture. Carefully place each scoop into the skillet, flattening it slightly with the back of the spoon. Cook the fritters for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn golden brown and develop a crispy outer layer. Avoid overcrowding the pan; if needed, cook the fritters in batches.

          Drain: Once cooked, transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil, keeping them warm as you continue frying the remaining batches.

            Assemble Sliders: Take your mini slider buns and place a handful of fresh arugula or spinach on the bottom half of each bun. Top the greens with one zucchini corn fritter. For an added touch of flavor, consider adding a dollop of tzatziki sauce or avocado sauce atop the fritter before closing the slider with the bun's top.

              Serve: Arrange the assembled sliders on a serving platter and present them immediately while the fritters are still warm and crispy for the best taste experience. Enjoy these flavorful bites!
