Recipe: Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters
Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters
Prep Time15 Minutes
Servings12
Cook Time12 Minutes
Ingredients
4 cups shredded zucchini
1 tsp salt, divided
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg
1/2 tsp garlic powder
GARLIC SOUR CREAM: 1 cup sour cream (plain yogurt works, too)
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
Directions
  1. 1.

    In a bowl, add the zucchini and sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the salt over it. Let it sit for 10 minutes.

  2. 2.

    After 10 minutes, squeeze the liquid from the zucchini, getting as much out as you can. I do this by putting the shredded zucchini in a paper towel and squeezing it so the paper towel soaks up the excess liquid.

  3. 3.

    Heat air fryer to 375 F for 5 minutes. Spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent the fritters from sticking.

  4. 4.

    In a large bowl, add the zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and stir well to combine.

  5. 5.

    Form the mixture into ¼-cup-sized patties and place them in the greased air fryer basket. You may have to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.

  6. 6.

    Cook for 7 minutes and flip, cooking for another 5 to 7 minutes. The fritters will be golden and crispy on the outside.

  7. 7.

    While the fritters are cooking, make the garlic sour cream. In a bowl, whisk together the sour cream, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.

  8. 8.

    Serve fritters warm with garlic sour cream. Enjoy!
