Ingredients
  

2 medium zucchinis, grated

1 cup fresh corn kernels (or frozen, thawed)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 green onions, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1/2 tsp salt

1/4 tsp black pepper

Olive oil for frying

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zucchini: In a clean kitchen towel, wring out the excess moisture from the grated zucchini to ensure your bites aren't too watery.

    Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained zucchini, corn, grated Parmesan cheese, flour, breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well combined. Finally, add the beaten eggs and mix until the mixture is cohesive.

      Form Bites: Using your hands, scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form small patties. You should get around 12-15 bites, depending on size.

        Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

          Cook: Carefully place the zucchini bites in the skillet, cooking in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy. Transfer them to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.

            Serve: These bites are delicious served warm with a side of marinara sauce or a spicy aioli for dipping! Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
