Notes
- Remove excess moisture from courgettes – Squeeze grated courgettes thoroughly to prevent soggy burgers.
- Chill mixture before shaping – Resting the mixture for 10–15 minutes helps the patties hold their shape.
- Uniform patty size – Shape burgers to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
- Turn carefully during cooking – Use a wide spatula and turn halfway to prevent breaking.
- Adjust cooking time for frozen burgers – Add 5–10 minutes to baking or air-frying if cooking from frozen.
