These zucchini and corn fritters are a simple, flavorful way to enjoy more vegetables. Served with a fresh tomato salsa, a cilantro cream cheese dip, and a broccoli-based “brocamole,” they make a colorful and satisfying appetizer, side dish, or light meal.
Ingredients10-12 fritters
Fritters
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 ⅓ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 ¼ cups canned corn, drained
- 1 large egg
- ½ tsp baking soda
- Olive oil, for cooking
Fresh Tomato Salsa
- 1 tomato
- ½ red onion
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
Cilantro Cream Cheese Dip
- 3.5 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 small bunch fresh cilantro, rinsed and dried
Brocamole
- 1 head broccoli
- Juice of ½ lime
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cumin
- Olive oil
Directions
1
Grate the zucchini, then squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Combine the zucchini with the corn, flour, egg, baking soda, salt, and pepper until a thick batter forms.
2
Heat a shallow layer of olive oil in a skillet (about ¼ inch deep). Drop spoonfuls of batter into the pan, flatten slightly with the back of a spoon, and cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
3
Dice the tomato and red onion into small pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then add 1 teaspoon paprika and 1 teaspoon cumin. Mix well.
4
Combine the cream cheese with the rinsed, dried, and finely chopped cilantro. Season with black pepper to taste.
5
Steam the broccoli until tender. Transfer to a food processor and blend with a drizzle of olive oil, the lime juice, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon cumin, salt, and pepper until smooth.
6
Serve the fritters warm alongside the three dips.
Happy cooking 🥰 ☀️
Thank you! I can’t wait to try this.
delicious! However, they were “popping” while frying, probably the corn. Need a deep pan or arir fryer
can’t wait to try it
Can I substitute almond flour for the flour in the zucchini corn recipe?
Thanks for your recipes. I loved them, and they’re easy to make!!
Now I know where your name originated, congratulations on Mexico! I♥️Yuka and highly recommend to everyone. Your recipe came just in time.I have some zucchinis from the farmers market, will definitely try your zucchini, black bean quesadilla. broccoli sauce sounds interesting, will try. To the entire staff at Yuka I highly appreciate you! ✌️♥️
I had tried this recipe and it tasted amazing. I never wanted to try broccoli until now it’s so good
Wow, this recipe look delicious, I will try for sure, thank you for sharing.
I was eager to try this recipe and am eating as I type 🙂 Love the flavor combinations but I changed up a couple of things.
Instead of tomato for the salsa, I used tomatillo and when I made the cream cheese dip I decided to mix it with the tomatillo salsa for one dip – so yummy! I will definitely make these again and look forward to trying other recipes. Thank you, Yuka! This has been a life changing app 🙂
Sounds fabulous
I need to find something to substitute the corn,I can’t eat corn because I’ve got diverticulosis and I really like corn but it’s very painful after I’ve eaten it
Try Shredded carrots instead of corn
This looks absolutely Yumbolicious!
Loved and easy to prepare
I heard the definition of someone who doesn’t have any friends = if they aren’t given a zucchine this time of the year. What if your friends aren’t gardeners?
This looks great! I wish there was a way to save it or pin the recipe so I can refer to it later. Am I missing something ?
The recipes can be bookmarked via your web browser on your phone or computer!
Yum
Cant wait to try it
Thank you 4 your recipe.
Can corn fritters be made with fresh corn on the cob or frozen corn?
Frozen corn can create more liquid in the batter which is the enemy of a good fritter
If using frozen corn, you’d want to thaw it completely and pat it dry to remove any excess liquid. If using fresh corn, you’ll want to cut the kernels from 2 ears of corn.
I would love to start with this recipe. It looks very delicious. Doesn’t look too hard to make. Thank you for sharing Cynthia.
Where do you get the corn that is safe?
My husband isnt a fan of guacamole, but says he cant wait to try to Brocamole haha
Thank you for sharing the recipe. I will try tomorrow. Looks delicious.
Look wonderful; love the idea of Brocomole. But could we have the nutrition information, please. Thank you!
It really helps as I shop up and down aisles with my phone out and Yuka open, ready to scan. It’s saved me from some very unhealthy choices that weren’t obvious. Great app!!
Thanks for the recipes! How many cups does the head of broccoli 🥦 yield? Thanks
1 medium head of broccoli is about 4 cups of chopped florets.
Looking forward to trying this. Really appreciate the recipes.
Thank you Julie!
I’m going to try this
Can’t wait to make the zucchini fritters! Yum!
Yum!! I use yellow squash, zucchini, egg and either green or white onion, garlic powder and cilantro. These are wonderful recipes! Love your app!!
Excited to try this one!
Great ideas for a healthy snack
Thanks for the share!
These recipes look amazing! I wish nutritional content was posted because I need that for diabetic/ cardiac diet needs and to know how much insulin to take 😊
Thank you! We just got a lot of zucchini from our farmer and need some new ways to prepare these delicious veggies. Going to make this tonight!
Thank You…All recipes look excellent; I look forward to making, sharing and eating these very tasty delights!!!
Looks good. I will definately try these recipes!
Thank you,
Kathleen
Looks Delicious but I’m gluten free and cannot eat with basic flour. Can you make with different flour ?
We are going to try it with gluten free flour!
You could use 1⅓ cups of gluten-free flour mix, gluten-free oat flour, or chickpea flour!
Thanks! Will have to give it a try;
Very nice to hear a little history on why you chose the name Yuka!
Thank you for all the healthy recipes including these. Yuka is keeping me alert and educated!!
