An easy recipe that has the great flavour combination of zucchini, feta and mint that make these low carb fritters a great option for lunch or even an appetizer.
I adore these…so fresh and light and quick to cook. The marriage of courgette, feta and mint is a solid one that will last many years and will probably see their silver anniversary with us. My original recipe used to have regular flour in it *swoons with horror* but I’ve now replaced it with coconut flour. Almond flour also works but I prefer the texture of coconut flour.
A tip on squeezing out the excess water out of the zucchini. Use a nut bag! It’s not only just for making your own nut milk!
