To make oat and sesame zucchini fritters, grate the zucchini, squeeze out excess liquid, then mix it with oats, sesame, egg, and seasoning. Spoon portions into a hot pan and cook until browned on both sides, or bake them for a less oily result.
Squeeze the grated zucchini firmly before mixing it into oat and sesame zucchini fritters. Excess moisture makes the batter loose and steams the fritters instead of letting them brown; cook them in a hot pan without crowding.
Oat and sesame zucchini fritters usually fall apart when the mixture is too wet, lacks enough egg to bind it, or is flipped too soon. Let the oats absorb moisture, then wait until the underside is set and browned before turning each fritter.
Yes, oat and sesame zucchini fritters can be cooked in an air fryer. Arrange them in a single layer with space between each one and lightly oil the surface; turn them once they hold their shape and begin to brown.
Quick oats or finely processed rolled oats work well in oat and sesame zucchini fritters because they absorb moisture and help hold the batter together. Whole rolled oats can leave a coarser texture, so pulse them briefly if you prefer a more even fritter.
A cool yogurt sauce, tzatziki, or a lemony herb dip pairs well with oat and sesame zucchini fritters. Their toasted sesame flavor also works with a simple squeeze of lemon; serve them with a crisp salad for a light meal.
Yes, freeze cooked oat and sesame zucchini fritters after they have cooled completely. Freeze them in a single layer first, then transfer them to a sealed container so they do not stick together. Reheat in an oven or pan to restore some crispness.
Store cooled oat and sesame zucchini fritters in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Reheat them in a skillet or oven rather than the microwave, which tends to soften their browned exterior.
Yes, oat and sesame zucchini fritters can be made without wheat flour because the oats help absorb moisture and hold the mixture together. Keep the zucchini well drained; if the batter still seems loose, let it rest so the oats can hydrate.
For crisp oat and sesame zucchini fritters, remove as much water as possible from the zucchini and avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook each fritter in a thin layer of hot oil, turning it only after the first side has browned.

An oat and sesame zucchini fritter is a Turkish-style take on mücver, made with grated zucchini, oats and sesame, usually bound with egg and seasoned before being shaped into small patties. Pan-frying gives the outside a golden edge while the courgette keeps the middle tender; oats add substance and sesame brings a nutty, toasted note.
In Turkey, mücver is served warm or at room temperature, often with yoghurt as part of a meal or alongside tea. It works as a vegetable-led snack or a light lunch, though frying makes it more filling than its ingredients might suggest. Each 100 g provides 3.3 g of fibre. For a lighter plate, use little oil and pair the fritter with plain yoghurt and a crisp salad.
