Instructions

Grate the zucchini and place it in a colander. Sprinkle with kosher salt and let it sit for 10 minutes before pressing it out with your hands. Toss again, let sit for another 10 minutes, and squeeze out excess water.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Whisk in the eggs until smooth, then mix in the garlic and tabasco.
Fold in the squeezed zucchini, corn kernels, and scallions until well combined. Gently incorporate the feta cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. Add dollops of the mixture (about 3 tablespoons each) to the pan, ensuring you don’t overcrowd it. Press down slightly on the top of each fritter.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then flip carefully and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Transfer cooked fritters to a wire rack or a paper towel-lined plate and repeat, adding more oil as necessary. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt.

Notes

Fresh herbs can be substituted with any other herb of your choice for varied flavors.
Fritters can be served warm or at room temperature, making them great for gatherings.
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
