Ingredients
 
 

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 Tbs. cornstarch or potato starch
  • 1 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds
  • ½ tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. onion powder
  • 1 cup frozen corn defrosted (W)
  • 1 cup frozen peas defrosted (W)
  • 2 Tbs. water
  • ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese (W if shredded from block)
  • ¼ cup cooking oil

Instructions
 

  • In a bowl, combine flour, starch, toasted sesame seeds, salt, and onion powder. Add corn and peas to the bowl, and mix until the veggies are coated with flour.
  • Mix in water. The mixture will turn sticky.
  • Mix in mozzarella cheese.
  • Heat 2 Tbs. of oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Wet your hands with water, form about ¼ cup of mixture into a patty, and place it on the pan. Repeat with half of the mixture. Note: Wetting your hands with water helps prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands.
  • Flip over once the fritters hold their shape together and gently press down with a metal spatula. Cook until both sides are golden brown and crispy.
  • Repeat steps 4 and 5 with the remaining mixture.

Notes

  • To store, place the fritters in an airtight container once completely cooled. Refrigerate for up to 3 days.
  • To freeze, place a piece of parchment paper in between the fritters. Store in a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge when ready to eat.
  • To reheat, microwave for 45-60 seconds. Alternatively, place the fritters on a wire rack and reheat in a 350 degrees F / 177 degrees C oven until crispy. This option will take longer.
