Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters are a delicious and healthy snack or side dish that can be easily made using an air fryer. Here’s a simple recipe to make air fryer zucchini fritters:
Ingredients:
- 2 medium-sized zucchinis
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing the air fryer basket
Instructions:
- Start by shredding the zucchinis. You can either use a box grater or a food processor with a shredding attachment. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the zucchini to release excess moisture.
- After 10 minutes, squeeze the shredded zucchini to remove as much moisture as possible. You can use a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth for this. The drier the zucchini, the crispier your fritters will be.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Mix everything well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
- Add the beaten eggs to the zucchini mixture and stir until the mixture is thoroughly coated.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for a few minutes.
- Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Alternatively, you can use parchment paper cut to fit the basket.
- Using a spoon or your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the zucchini mixture and form it into a fritter shape. Place the fritters in the greased air fryer basket, leaving a little space between them.
- Cook the fritters in the air fryer for about 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The fritters should turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Once the fritters are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Repeat the process with the remaining zucchini mixture until it’s all used up.
- Serve the air fryer zucchini fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as sour cream, tzatziki, or marinara sauce.
Enjoy your crispy and delicious air fryer zucchini fritters!
