How to make it lighter
- Bake the fritters on a lined tray with a light brush of oil instead of shallow-frying them; the pan oil is the easiest calories to cut.
- Salt the grated zucchini and squeeze out the water first, so the batter needs less flour and the fritters absorb less oil.
- Serve them with a large salad rather than extra bread, and keep the white cheese to the amount in the recipe.
