Fritters are delicious and easy to whip up when you’re short on time! These courgette fritters are a hit with both adults and children, making them perfect for the whole family to enjoy.
They are great to prep ahead of time for midweek lunches or as part of an evening meal. They can be served with salads, rice dishes, dips, and even poached or fried eggs!
For me, the perfect combination is courgette fritters, a Greek salad, and homemade tzatziki. They are fresh, light, and tasty! What’s not to like?
