Sweet Corn Fritters

Fritters are amazing and there are dozens of variations to explore. The problem with most preparations is they are deep-fried to create that lovely crispy exterior and soft interior. My version relies on cooking the fritters a bit like a pancake, then finishing them in a hot oven to create that crispy exterior. This method allows for the complete exclusion of oil – or just a bare minimum if you choose – and yields a fritter that is not greasy and explodes with fresh flavors.

I like to serve fresh corn fritters with a simple tomato salsa – one that is a bit spicy – and a dollop of soy yogurt. They make a perfect late summer lunch or light dinner.
