In a medium mixing bowl, combine one cup of sweet corn, finely chopped jalapenos, and one cup of shredded cheddar cheese. In another bowl, whisk together one cup of all-purpose flour, one teaspoon of baking powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Once mixed, gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, ensuring not to overmix.

In a heavy pot, pour enough vegetable oil to reach about two inches deep and begin heating over medium heat. Use a cooking thermometer to bring the oil to 350°F (175°C).

Once the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of the batter into the oil, fry the Jalapeno Corn Nuggets in batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until they turn a golden brown.

Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the fried nuggets and let them drain on a plate lined with paper towels. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
