olive oil

🥗Healthier: avocado oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Avocado oil has a higher smoke point and is heart-healthy.

Grate courgettes and place in a colander to drain excess moisture for 10-15 minutes.

In a bowl, combine drained courgettes, cottage cheese, eggs, and chopped onion.

Mix in flour, baking powder, parsley, garlic, lemon zest, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until well combined.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly.

Cook fritters for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Remove fritters and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a dollop of yogurt.
