Ingredients
Scale
Fritters
- 2 cups grated zucchini (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill or parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and grate the zucchini thoroughly. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible to ensure the fritters hold together well.
- Make the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the drained grated zucchini with all-purpose flour, eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, chopped fresh dill or parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix until a thick batter forms.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking when the fritters go in.
- Form Patties: Shape the zucchini mixture into patties approximately half an inch thick for even cooking and crisp texture.
- Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the basket of the air fryer with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Arrange the fritters in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the basket for proper air circulation.
- Cook the Fritters: Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time to achieve golden brown, crispy edges on both sides.
Notes
- Be sure to squeeze out zucchini moisture thoroughly to avoid soggy fritters.
- You can substitute fresh dill with parsley or omit herbs as preferred.
- For extra crispiness, add a little more flour if batter feels too wet.
- Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your air fryer model.
