Sweet Corn Fritters

Sweet Corn Fritters


You may not have sweet corn ready where you live, but we do here in Central Florida.  We can get corn on the cob twice a year - April thru May and then again in October thru November. There is a great farm near us that sells it and so when my husband brought home two dozen, I knew we could not eat all of them as corn on the cob.

I have made corn fritters before, but never with fresh corn.  I have used frozen and they are good, but the fresh corn was awesome.

They go together very quickly since you put the corn kernels in a food processor or blender like Vitamix. I used my food processor and it was super easy.  As the recipe says, don't rush the cooking time. We ate ours plain, but you can serve them with smashed avocado, salsa or sour cream.

This makes a nice and easy side dish.

If you have access to fresh corn, try these fritters, you will not be disappointed. If you don't have fresh corn, you can use frozen corn.

  2. These look absolutely delicious! I bet they're good with a bit of salsa. Pinned.

    1. Allyson,
      Funny that you mentioned salsa because that's what my hubby did. I didn't use it because I like to taste it but he loved it with the salsa.
