In a large bowl, combine the fresh corn kernels, all-purpose flour, baking powder, ground black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir to mix the dry ingredients thoroughly.
In a separate small bowl, beat the egg and then mix in the unsweetened almond milk until well combined.
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Add the chopped fresh chives to the batter and mix gently.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of batter into the skillet, flattening them slightly with the back of a spoon to form fritters about 2-3 inches wide.
Cook each fritter for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining batter, adding more oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve immediately, and enjoy these delicious low sodium corn fritters as an appetizer or side dish.
