Instructions

Grate the zucchini and toss it with kosher salt in a colander. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then press the water out with your hands. Toss it again and let it rest another 10 minutes before squeezing out more water.
In a large bowl, whisk the flour, cornstarch, and salt together, then mix in the whisked eggs until a smooth batter forms. Add in the minced garlic and tabasco, mixing until combined.
Fold in the squeezed zucchini, corn kernels, and scallions until well mixed. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
Preheat a large skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil to coat the bottom.
Drop about 3 tablespoon-sized dollops of the mixture into the pan without overcrowding. Gently flatten the tops. Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.
Transfer cooked fritters to a wire rack or paper towel-lined pan to drain excess oil, adding more oil to the pan between batches. Sprinkle each fritter with a pinch of salt.

Notes

For extra flavor, let the zucchini sit with salt longer to draw out more moisture.
These fritters can be frozen after cooking for later enjoyment—just reheat in the oven!
Feel free to add in other herbs if dill and parsley aren’t available.
