Vegan Zucchini Corn Fritters
🌱 Vegan Zucchini Corn Fritters 🌽
These Vegan Zucchini Corn Fritters are golden rounds packed with corn, zucchini, and red pepper, with dark spots from the pan. No eggs. No dairy. They stack and hold if you squeeze the zucchini dry first.
I love how the corn stays whole so you can see it in the stack. Don’t fry them while the mix is still wet. A hot pan and a few minutes per side is the whole trick. 💚

The Secret to Fritters That Don’t Fall Apart
Salt the zucchini and squeeze it hard in a towel. Chickpea flour binds without eggs. The mix should hold a ball before it hits the pan. Medium-high heat, a thin layer of oil, and don’t flip until the edge looks set. Rest them a minute before you stack.
Frequently Asked Questions ❓
Can I bake them? 🔥
Yes. 425°F (220°C) for 18–22 minutes, flipping once. They won’t be as brown as pan-fried.
Frozen corn? 🌽
Yes. Thaw and pat dry so the batter doesn’t get watery.
What should I serve them with? 🥄
Vegan yogurt, salsa, or a squeeze of lime.
