Zen Zucchini and Corn Fritters

These fritters are a delicious and healthy way to use up leftover zucchini and corn. They're made with almond flour and nutritional yeast, so they're gluten-free and vegan. The fritters are also low in calories and fat, but they're still packed with flavor.

I first came up with this recipe a few years ago when I was looking for a way to use up some leftover zucchini. I had also just started experimenting with almond flour and nutritional yeast, so I decided to give them a try in these fritters. The result was so delicious that I've been making them ever since.

Prep time: 15 | Cook time: 20 | Serves: 4

Ingredients

• 1 cup grated zucchini
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels
• 2 eggs
• 1/2 cup almond flour
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. In a large bowl, combine the zucchini, corn, eggs, almond flour, nutritional yeast, baking powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
5. Drop the batter by rounded tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and cooked through.
7. Serve immediately.

Why It Works

• The almond flour and nutritional yeast give the fritters a nutty and slightly cheesy flavor.
• The baking powder helps the fritters to rise and become fluffy.
• The zucchini and corn add moisture and sweetness to the fritters.
• The fritters are baked in the oven, which makes them healthier than if they were fried.
