Equipment

Ingredients
 

  • 2 zucchini medium
  • ⅓ cup All purpose flour
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 2 scallions sliced
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel and grate the zucchini using a box grater.
  • Mix the shredded zucchini with a pinch of salt and place it on a cheesecloth. Leave it for a few minutes and squeeze the excess water out.
    Alternatively, you can line a baking sheet with paper towels and spread the shredded zucchini to remove excess liquid.
  • Add shredded zucchini, all purpose flour, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, garlic powder and egg in to a large bowl. Stir until combined.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper. Place about 1 tablespoon of batter and slightly flatten it. Place as many fritters as it can fit in to your air fryer basket. You can spray with a cooking spray but this is optional.
  • Working in batches, air fry zucchini fritters at 375˚F for 10 minutes. Flip and air fry for 5-8 minutes until golden brown.
  • Remove from air fryer and serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Substitute all purpose flour with gluten free flour or almond flour for low carb, keto zucchini fritters.
  • Spices & herbs: You can add onion powder, Italian seasoning or any other spices you prefer.
  • Corn: You can also add 1/4 cup of corn to make zucchini corn fritters.
  • Store leftover fritters in the fridge in an airtight container for 3-4 days.
  • Freeze the fritters in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight.
  • Reheat in the Air fryer for a few minutes until warm and crispy.
