Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 cup cornmeal

2 large eggs

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh herbs (like cilantro or parsley)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil for frying

4 crusty bread rolls

1 cup mixed greens (arugula works great)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

Optional: spicy mayonnaise or aioli for spreading

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture. This helps prevent soggy fritters.

    Mix the Fritter Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, corn, flour, cornmeal, eggs, Parmesan cheese, fresh herbs, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. The mixture should be thick but not dry.

      Cook the Fritters: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, drop large spoonfuls of the fritter batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly to form patties. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all the batter is used, adding more oil as needed. Keep the fritters warm in a low oven while you finish cooking.

        Toast the Bread Rolls: While cooking the fritters, split the bread rolls and toast them lightly in the oven or on a grill until golden and crusty.

          Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a layer of spicy mayonnaise or aioli on the bottom half of each roll. Place a few mixed greens on top, followed by the zucchini corn fritters. Top each fritter with slices of avocado and a sprinkle of additional herbs if desired. Close the sandwiches with the top half of the roll.

            Serve: Cut the sandwiches in half for easier handling and serve immediately while the fritters are warm. Enjoy with a side of fresh fruit or a light salad!
