Questions about Zucchini fritter
How do you stop courgette fritters going soggy?
Grate the courgette, toss it with a little salt and leave it for 10 minutes, then squeeze it very dry in a clean tea towel. Mix with the batter and shallow-fry small spoonfuls in a lightly oiled pan for about 3–4 minutes on each side.
Can you bake courgette fritters instead of frying them?
Yes. Put small, lightly oiled fritters on a lined tray and bake at 200°C fan for 18–22 minutes, turning them halfway through; they’ll be less crisp than pan-fried ones.
What goes well with courgette fritters?
Serve them warm with lemony yoghurt or a herby dip, plus a tomato and cucumber salad. They also make a good side for grilled fish or a simple summer supper.
How should you store and reheat leftover courgette fritters?
Cool them and put them in the fridge within two hours; eat within 48 hours. Reheat only once, until steaming hot throughout, in a frying pan or oven to bring back some crispness.
Can you freeze courgette fritters?
Yes. Cool them completely, freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a sealed container. Defrost in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot throughout.
Can you use grated carrot instead of courgette?
Yes, but carrot is firmer and less watery, so you can skip salting and squeezing it. Grate it finely and cook the fritters until the centre is cooked through.
