These Courgette & Sweetcorn Fritters really are very good, worth a try I promise and so easy!

And  a sneaky way to get those veggies into the kids!

We all loved them and I ended up making more and more!

They take moments to make and everyone can be involved.

I literally had my family lined up with plates and they kept coming back for more πŸ™‚

 

Courgette & Sweetcorn Fritters

 

Vegetarian zuchinni fritters 

And they are vegetarian so perfect for Meat Free Evenings or lunches, I think we all need more of those.

No matter if you’re vegetarian or not!

Also called Zucchini (usually in the U.S)!

So what do these courgettes/ zucchini’s contain from a nutritional point of view?

Well they contain significant amounts of vitamins B6, riboflavin, folate, C, and K, and minerals, like potassium and manganese.

Also know as a summer squash they also contain antioxidant and anti-inflammatory phytonutrients.

This makes zucchini, also known as courgette, a nutrient-dense food that you should include in your diet.

    Thank you for your recipe and the proportion of ingredients, I made it slightly differently, how my Mum used to make corn fritters!
    Separate the eggs and beat the whites till stiff. Put egg yolks & milk (liquid from can of corn, made up to 150ml with milk) in with the flour and beat well! Stir in corn and grated Courgette, fold in egg whites. Cook as per your instructions…
    *** Don’t burn your fingers and mouth tasting these straight from the pan! 😁
