Courgette (or for my American followers Zucchini) just happens to be my favourite vegetable. I eat courgette with everything. Roasted, baked, fried, grated into a salad, made into courgetti spaghetti… it’s the perfect versatile vegetables.
These Courgette fritters are the perfect tasty light lunch. I like to pair them with a big dollop of quark or fat free Greek style yoghurt. OR pop them in your lunchbox as a cold snack. (The kids will love them too)

- ½ tsp Dried Mixed Herbs
- ¼ tsp Mustard Powder
- 1 Clove Garlic, Crushed

- Spritz a pan with a good amount of Frylight and bring to a medium heat. The tip is to cook these slowly to prevent burning.
