Ingredients

• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 cup fresh corn kernels
• 6 large eggs
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• 3 green onions
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp kosher salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• as needed olive oil spray
• 3 tbsp hot honey
• 1 tbsp butter
• 2 tbsp fresh chives

Instructions

1. 1Trim the zucchini and grate it on the large holes of a box grater into a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze firmly over the sink until most of the liquid is removed and the shreds feel dry.
2. 2Transfer the squeezed zucchini to a large bowl. Add the fresh corn kernels, flour, grated Parmesan, thinly sliced green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Crack in two of the eggs and mix until a thick, cohesive batter forms.
3. 3Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with olive oil. Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter, flatten gently into 2½-inch rounds, and arrange in a single layer without crowding.
4. 4Air-fry the fritters for 8 minutes, flip carefully, spray the tops lightly, and cook another 5–7 minutes until deep golden and crisp at the edges. Keep finished fritters warm on a sheet pan in a 200°F oven while you cook the remaining batches.
5. 5Meanwhile, melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Crack in the remaining four eggs and scramble gently, stirring almost constantly, until just set and still soft and custardy. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
6. 6Plate two hot fritters per person. Spoon a portion of the soft scrambled eggs alongside or on top.
7. 7Drizzle each plate generously with hot honey so it pools slightly into the eggs and fritters.
8. 8Scatter snipped fresh chives over everything and serve immediately while the fritters are still shatter-crisp.
