Today lets explore these amazing zucchini and roasted sweet corn fritters. It’s an easy peasy recipe. Just mix the ingredients together and shape them into flat palm-sized fritters and bake. Really that easy!
These fritters are flavored with fresh mint leaves, another herb which grows plentiful in my garden and I love to use it in everything. 😇
Zucchini is a very versatile vegetable, in that it takes to any flavor profile; it is like a sponge. It does not add any specific taste of its own, which makes it very easy to incorporate in a variety of ways. The moisture from the zucchini makes it very useful for baking these fritters and keeps them juicy. They are crunchy and spicy with the addition of jalapeños. The mint flavor when baked fills your entire home with the perfume of Spring….. did I not say – “Spring is in the air”!!
