This is a delicious recipe but beware it doesn’t keep for long. Best eaten in 2 days, which is no hardship in our house! It also freezes well. I like to keep slices of it handy for lunchboxes and snacks.

Courgette Fritters

A tasty way to snack on courgettes, you can serve these with a whole variety of dips, or just as part of dinner! My boy totally suprised me with this as he says “courgettes are yucky” and would normally refuse to eat a chunk of one but tried these and ate a whole pile of them!

Cut the courgettes into strips, dip into egg and roll in a mixture of cornmeal with paprika, dried herbs and a sprinkle of grated cheese.

Approx amounts:

1 medium courgette

100g cornmeal

30g cheddar

1 tsp paprika

1 tsp mixed herbs

1 egg

Bake in the oven at 220C/200 fan/Gas 7 for 20 minutes turning halfway through cooking.
