Air Fryer Sweetcorn Courgette Fritters

A great way to get your 5-a-day into your dinner.

Ingredients

• 150g sweetcorn kernels (canned or fresh)

• 1 medium courgette (grated)

• 130g all-purpose flour

• 2 large eggs

• 120ml milk

• 50g grated cheese (cheddar or preferred)

• 30g fresh parsley (chopped)

• 5g baking powder

• 2g salt

• 1g black pepper

• Olive oil spray for cooking

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the sweetcorn, grated courgette, flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper.

2. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Add this mixture to the dry ingredients and stir until it forms a smooth batter.

3. Fold in the grated cheese and chopped parsley until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

4. Preheat the air fryer to 200°C (390°F).

5. Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the air fryer basket, leaving a small gap between each fritter. Lightly spray with olive oil.

6. Cook the fritters in the air fryer for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

7. Repeat until all the batter is used. Serve the fritters warm.

Notes

• To make these fritters gluten-free, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend. For extra flavour, add a pinch of chilli flakes or a handful of chopped spring onions.

• Serve alongside homemade potato wedges for a tasty dinner!
