Ingredients
- 750 g Courgettes (Grated)
- 100 g Feta cheese (Crumbled into big chunks)
- 2 Eggs (Medium free range)
- 2 Cloves garlic (Peeled and crushed)
- 15 g Fresh dill (Chopped)
- 15 g Fresh mint (Chopped)
- 1 tsp Dried oregano
- 75 g Plain flour

- 1/2 Red onion (Peeled and finely chopped)
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- Greek yoghurt (For dipping)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/425F.
- Grate your courgettes and squeeze out as much of the liquid as you can over a colander. Use the colander and your hands - there will be lots! (See tips below.)
- When you've squeezed out the liquid, put all of your Courgette Fritter ingredients into a large bowl and mix well with clean hands.
- Shape the mixture into 8 patties and put onto a greased (or sprayed using Fry Light) baking sheet.
- Bake for about 30 minutes of until browned, firm and cooked through.
- To fry the Courgette Fritters:
- Make 16 smaller patties instead of 8.
- Heat 1 tbsp sunflower oil in a non-stick pan over a medium low heat, cook on each side for about 4-5 minutes until golden and cooked through.
- Add more oil if needed between batches - don’t over crowd the pan.
- Keep the cooked batches warm in the oven while you finish off the others.
