Baked cheesy courgette fritters

Cheesy courgette fritters @teawitherika

I love fritters.

There, I said it. I love everything fried (except for onions).

But I hate frying :\

So I decided to make a batch and try to bake them. I have to admit now that I still prefer them fried but when I think of standing next to a hot hob holding a pan full of hot oil for, what?, 15-20 minutes and all the calories that come with it, I’m well contented with this baked version ๐Ÿ™‚

BAKED CHEESY COURGETTE FRITTERS

INGREDIENTS
250g grated courgettes
2 eggs, beaten
170g potato flour or plain flour
1/2 tbsp baking powder
100g grated parmesan cheese
salt, pepper and seasoning to taste

METHOD
Preheat oven to 220ยฐC. Mix all the ingredients together, make ping pong sized balls and arrange them on a baking tray. Bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Yields about 20.

  2. I love your recipes. They are simple and easyโ€ฆI would like to try this one. Should I fry or bake them? do they taste very different (baked/fried?)

    • Thank you so much indeed, Liz! Well, you can do either but for me fried beats baked any day ๐Ÿ˜‰ But to eat fritters more regularly it’s best to bake them ๐Ÿ™‚
