Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup crumbled feta cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 clove garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 small slider buns

Olive oil, for frying

Optional toppings: sliced avocado, crispy lettuce, and tzatziki sauce

Instructions
 

Prep the Zucchini: Begin by grating the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor. Once grated, place the zucchini in a clean dish towel or cheesecloth. Squeeze firmly to remove excess moisture, which is essential for achieving crispy fritters.

    Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, corn kernels, crumbled feta cheese, flour, beaten eggs, chopped parsley, minced garlic, baking powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well incorporated into a cohesive batter.

      Shape the Fritters: With your hands, scoop a handful of the mixture and shape it into small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter. Place the formed fritters on a clean plate for easier transfer to the skillet.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, pour a generous drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Wait until the oil is hot enough—when a drop of the mixture sizzles upon contact with the oil.

          Cook the Fritters: Carefully add the fritters to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and have a crispy exterior. Adjust the heat as needed to ensure they cook evenly without burning.

            Toast the Buns: Once the fritters are cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. In the same skillet, lightly toast the slider buns until they turn golden brown, adding a touch of flavor.

              Assemble the Sliders: To construct the sliders, set a zucchini corn fritter on the bottom half of each toasted bun. Add your desired toppings, such as sliced avocado, crunchy lettuce, and a dollop of tzatziki sauce. Cap each slider with the top half of the bun.

                Serve and Enjoy: Serve your delightful Zucchini Corn and Feta Fritter Sliders warm, accompanied by a refreshing side salad or your favorite dipping sauce for a satisfying meal!
