These Courgette and Halloumi Fritters are such a quick and easy meal, perfect served with salad and chips, or with a fried egg for a simple brunch idea. The salty halloumi crisps up beautifully, and it’s a great way to use up a glut of courgettes from the garden.
Notes On These Courgette Halloumi Fritters
💚 These easy Courgette Fritters with Halloumi can be whipped up in under 15 minutes, needing just a few simple ingredients you probably already have.
💚 Not only does the halloumi give these fritters its unique, umami taste, it also crisps up when coated in the egg and gluten free flour for a perfect fritter texture.
💚 These easy gluten free fritters are a great way to sneak some hidden veg into kids’ diets, as the courgette is grated into them to disguise it.
💚 If you like meal prepping or batch cooking, you’ll be pleased to know you can make a load of these and then freeze them – then I just reheat in a pan to serve!

Ingredients and Substitutions
There’s a printable recipe card below for these easy gluten free courgette and halloumi fritters with the full quantities. But here are the main ingredients and ideas for any swaps.
- Courgette: I usually use one medium-large courgette, or you could use a couple of smaller ones. Feel free to add extra grated veg like carrots in here too.
- Halloumi: You can use light or full-fat halloumi – and yes, halloumi is gluten free!
- Eggs
- Gluten Free Flour: I just use a plain gluten free flour blend, but you could use cornflour or rice flour if that’s all you have.
- Garlic
- Chilli: Omit if you don’t want these to have a little kick!
- Oregano: Dried mint would also add a different flavour and pair well with the halloumi.
How to Make Courgette Halloumi Fritters
There’s a printable recipe card below with the method. But here are some step-by-step photos to show you how easy these courgette and halloumi fritters are to make.
Storing and Freezing Instructions
TO STORE: Any leftover courgette fritters can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated to serve. I recommend air frying or heating in a pan.
TO FREEZE: Freeze the fritters between sheets of baking paper so you can defrost only what’s needed. Defrost in the fridge then reheat as above to serve.
Serving Suggestions
I like to serve my courgette fritters with something saucy, so if you like you can make a simple garlic yoghurt dip for them.
To make an easy garlic yoghurt dip for these, I mix 3 tbsp Greek yoghurt, 1 tbsp lemon juice and 1 tsp garlic paste with some salt and pepper.
They also go amazingly well with a good drizzle of my homemade Hot Honey and a side of Air Fryer Chips and Rocket Salad.
Courgette and Halloumi Fritters Recipe
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 med-large courgette, (approx 400g/14oz)
- 100 g halloumi
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp gluten free plain flour
- 0.5 tsp garlic paste
- 0.5 tsp chilli flakes
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tbsp oil
Instructions
- Roughly grate the courgette and the halloumi and add to a large mixing bowl.
- Add the eggs, gluten free flour, garlic, chilli flakes and oregano and mix together well using a spoon.
- Add the oil to a large frying pan and place on a medium heat. Take a handful of the fritter mixture and shape into a rough ball – place in the frying pan and press down using a fish slice or spatula.
- Repeat until you have 4-5 fritters in the pan (depending on what size pan you have) and fry on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden on one side.
- Carefully flip the fritters (try do this in the same order you added them to the pan) and fry again on the other side for another 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the fritters from the pan onto a plate. Repeat until all the mixture has been used – you can keep the cooked fritters in a warm oven while you make the next batches if serving right away. Serve hot with toppings or side of your choice.
