Instructions

Grate the zucchini and mix it with kosher salt in a colander. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes, then press out excess water. Let it sit again for another 10 minutes and squeeze out any remaining moisture.
In a large bowl, combine flour, cornstarch, and salt; whisk together. Mix in the whisked eggs to form a smooth batter, then add garlic and tabasco, stirring well.
Add the drained zucchini, corn, and scallions to the mixture and stir until combined. Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and coat the bottom with olive oil. Add dollops (approximately 3 tablespoons) of the mixture to the skillet, avoiding overcrowding, and press down slightly.
Cook each fritter for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown, then flip carefully to cook the other side. Repeat this process, adding more oil if needed, and transfer the cooked fritters to a wire rack or paper towel-lined pan, sprinkling with salt.

Notes

Make sure to squeeze out as much water from the zucchini as possible to prevent soggy fritters.
For a spicier kick, adjust the amount of tabasco to your preference.
These fritters make a great snack or appetizer, or can be served as a side dish.
