Recipe: Zucchini Tuna Fritters
A few days ago I needed a new, small dish to add to my afternoons to help me hit my protein, but that would also give me room to have a bunch of veggies for the micronutrients and some fibre to keep me feeling satiated until my next meal. This is where this creation came in.
When cooking I recommend using an olive oil spray for your pan so that you’re not wasting your calories on unnecessary cooking fats! :)

Ingredients
Instructions
- Grate zucchini
- Place zucchini on a clean cloth or some paper towel and press the moisture out (you can also do this with salt, but, I didn’t want to eat extra salt in my day, my other meals already covered that target haha)
- Once you’ve pressed most of the moisture out of the grated zucchini, transfer it to a bowl and add in an egg, oat flour, and 1 small tin of tuna (after draining). You can also now add in salt, pepper, or any of your other favourite spices that you think will work with the flavours.
- Divide the mix into 2 portions and create patties (fritters) out of them in your hand and place into a plan on a low heat. I recommend using spray olive oil on the pan rather than pouring in an oil or butter.
- Allow each side to cook for 3-5 mins, or until golden brown.
- I like to serve mine with low fat sour cream, avocado (with lemon pepper), and a side of spinach and cherry tomatoes.
