Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis, grated
- 1/2 cup flour (substitute with chickpea flour for gluten-free)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and squeeze out the extra moisture using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth to prevent the fritters from becoming soggy.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour (or chickpea flour for gluten-free), grated Parmesan cheese, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
- Form Patties: Shape the mixture into small, even-sized patties. Lightly coat each patty with cooking spray to ensure they crisp up nicely in the air fryer.
- Air Fry: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (193°C). Place the patties in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through to achieve even golden crispiness.
- Serve: Optionally garnish with fresh herbs like dill or mint for added flavor. Serve the zucchini fritters warm with a side of yogurt or tzatziki as a refreshing dip.
Notes
- Grate zucchinis well and remove excess moisture to avoid sogginess in fritters.
- Use chickpea flour as a gluten-free alternative to regular flour.
- Feel free to add herbs such as dill or mint to enhance flavor.
- Pair with yogurt or tzatziki sauce for a delicious and cooling complement.
