I’m not growing any vegetables this year, as we are moving house, but the only vegetable I’ve ever grown successfully was courgettes (or zucchini if you’re American).

Let me tell you, even if you’re not a gardener, if you grow courgettes, you’ll feel like Alan Titchmarsh every time you go to check on your plant babies.

I never tire of them as they are one of my favourite veggies, but if you are stuck for ideas, Courgette Fritters are a brilliant go to recipe.

Courgette Fritters are usually made with grated courgettes (zucchini), plus a binding ingredient like flour or breadcrumbs and eggs, plus herbs for flavour.

They are usually then fried in hot oil in a pan. You can do this with this recipe, however, I prefer to bake them in the oven so that they are less greasy.

Can you freeze Courgette Fritters?

Yes, you can easily freeze Courgette Fritters (Zucchini Fritters). To avoid them sticking together, so you can defrost one at a time, freeze separated with sheets of baking parchment.

Thoroughly defrost the Courgette Fritters before either eating at room temperature or warming through.

Tips for making the Courgette Fritters:

  • Be sure to use the coarse side of your grated (or food processor) for grate your courgettes. I used a fine one here and the texture wasn’t quite as good.
  • I LOVE these breadcrumbs from Waitrose for this recipe. They have a great texture and really feel like homemade, without the faff.
  • This recipe makes EIGHT Courgette Fritters, which will serve four hungry people.
