Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles

September 8, 2020 By Patricia 11 Comments

Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles make a fabulous appetizer, snack, or part of a light meal. You’ll love the season’s goodies tucked into these tasty snacks!

 

My husband and I had been planning to make these Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles for weeks but one thing led to another and, well, the zucchini got put to other uses. No problem! There’s never a shortage of zucchini in the summer!

These fritters are filling! They’re perfect to include as part of a light meal, or as an appetizer or snack. I’ve make fritters before (and called them “cakes”) in the form of these tasty Baked Tuna and Zucchini Cakes with Lemon-Yogurt Dressing, and just love them.

My husband was used to fritters being batter-based and dropped by a spoon into hot oil to fry, but these fritters are shaped into little patties (or cakes) and lightly pan-fried. They turned out wonderfully!

Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles

What a great snack you’ll find in Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles! Serve them up with a small salad. Maybe you’d prefer to offer them up for snack time? They’re perfect pulled from the fridge and popped into the microwave for a minute-plus.

Zucchini and corn are summer staples, so you should give these fritters a try while the zucchini and corn is still plentiful! Speaking of zucchini, have you ever tried zucchini blossoms as an appetizer?

If you haven’t, you really need to earlier in the zucchini season. They’re one of my all-time favorite appetizers. My mom would make fried zucchini blossoms and as an adult, I’d run into them here and there at Italian restaurants, served as appetizers.

I love Hatch chiles, and had some tucked away in the freezer. They’re ideal to include with these fritters. You don’t have to add them to this recipe, but they bring some pretty great flavor!

For more Hatch chile goodness, try my recipe for Roasted Hatch Chile and Corn Chowder. Seeing a theme here with corn and Hatch chiles? Mmmm! Love it!

A few things to keep in mind with this Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chile recipe:

  1. Prepare to squeeeeeze the shredded zucchini to get out as much moisture as possible.
  2. The batter for these fritters is a little soft, but it’s easy to form it into little patties. Just be prepared for goopy fingers.
  3. Line a baking pan with parchment paper and place it close to your bowl of batter. Transfer the patties to the pan to make it easy to transfer them into the skillet.
  4. Kick the stovetop heat up to medium-high. Don’t crowd your skillet – add four at a time, fewer if four is a tight fit.
  5. Be patient! First, allow the oil in the skillet to heat up. Next, add the fritters and let them pan fry for about 3 minutes on each side. Don’t flip them back and forth, but do keep a close eye on them to ensure they don’t burn.
  6. I turned the heat down slightly for the second batch.
  7. Allow these fritters to cool a bit before digging in.
  8. Top them with plain Greek yogurt or sour cream if you’d like.
  9. Refrigerate any leftovers, and pop them in the microwave for a minute or so before serving.

Be sure to check out these Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Hatch Chiles before the zucchini is a thing of the past!

Welcome to Grab a Plate!

Growing up surrounded by my Italian family it was always, "grab a plate" whenever anyone came to visit. Food was always a celebration, even everyday meals, and I like it that way. I try to make each meal memorable with my recipes for mainly meatless, mostly healthy, and easy-to-make dishes (with sweet treats in between).
