  • Toss together zucchini, squash, carrots, and salt in a colander and drain for 15 minutes. Wrap vegetables in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible; transfer mixture to a medium bowl.
  • Combine corn muffin mix, baking powder, and paprika in a large bowl. Stir in vegetables and beaten eggs until well mixed.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium heat, tilting the skillet to spread oil evenly. Working in batches, drop tablespoonfuls of zucchini batter into hot oil, flattening each dollop with the back of a spoon. Pan-fry until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat with remaining batter, adding more oil as needed.
