Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters
Light, crisp, and ready in minutes, these Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters are a delicious option for lunch, snacks, or as a veggie-packed side.
Ingredients
Veggies
- 2 cups shredded zucchini (squeeze out excess moisture)
Dairy & Egg
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
Pantry
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Cooking spray (for air fryer)
Spices
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the shredded zucchini, flour, Parmesan, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper; mix until evenly combined.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for best crisping results.
- Form the mixture into small, compact fritters about 2 inches wide so they hold together while cooking.
Cooking
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and place fritters in a single layer without overcrowding.
- Air fry at 400°F for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve warm and enjoy immediately for the best texture.
Notes
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from shredded zucchini to avoid soggy fritters. Pack the fritters tightly when shaping so they don’t fall apart in the air fryer. Don’t overcrowd the basket; cook in batches for even browning.
