Veggie fritters, burgers, or anything like it, I love it. Especially when they work out so nicely as these courgette fritters 🙂
The combination of courgette, feta and dill gives these fritters a bit of a Greek touch, which I like a lot. Everybody that has been on holiday in Greece knows that the food is extremely tasteful. Oh only thinking about the stuffed and fried courgette flowers already makes we want to go there again!
The courgette is pickled first and then rinsed to get rid of the salt. A cheese cloth is really needed to squeeze out all the excess liquid, otherwise you get a very mushy result, don’t go that way!
I have firmed them up a bit with oatmeal and sunflower seeds, which also gives them a bit of a crunch and bite. That is really me, combining different flavours and textures in one dish. So you can understand really well that there is also some lemon in these courgette fritters, to add a bit of freshness. Because they are oven baked, there is no fatty flavour or touch to them luckily.
I really hope you will give these a try, as they are also great for kids, and do contain quite some veggies, nicely hidden in a burger format. There you go, get your kids to fall in love with them!
