Ingredients:

• 1 medium zucchini, grated
• 1 medium carrot, grated

• 1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh, frozen, or canned)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese blend)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free version)

• Salt and pepper, to taste

• Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish (optional)
