Zucchini and Corn Fritters with Sriracha Aioli

These zucchini and corn fritters are a summery delight, with a crispy exterior and a tender, flavorful interior. They're perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal, or as a side dish for a summer barbecue.

Zucchini and corn fritters are a classic summer dish, and for good reason. They're a delicious way to use up fresh zucchini and corn, and they're easy to make. But not all zucchini corn fritters are created equal. Some are dense and greasy, while others are dry and bland. The key to making the perfect zucchini corn fritter is to find the right balance of ingredients and cooking methods.

Why It Works

• The combination of zucchini and corn gives these fritters a sweet and savory flavor.
