I have the perfect recipe for all of that beautiful zucchini filing up your garden. Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters are packed with herbs, feta, and flavor. I cook mine in the air fryer, which means they are also healthy! And I love to serve these with a dollop of Greek yogurt for a little extra deliciousness.
Ingredients for Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters:
2 pounds zucchini, grated
6 ounces crumbled feta
1/4 cup chopped scallions
1/4 cup flour
zest of 1 lemon
1 egg, lightly beaten
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons chopped dill
1 tablespoon chopped mint
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
cooking spray
Time-Saving Tip: Prepare the fritters and refrigerate for an hour before cooking.
Let's see what we need.
We're ready to cook.
Grate the zucchini by hand or using a food processor. Then transfer to a colander that is resting inside the bowl. Toss with the salt and let rest for 30 minutes to an hour. Transfer the zucchini to a towel and squeeze out the excess liquid. Save the liquid for a smoothie or soup.
Combine the zucchini, pepper, dill, scallions, mint, flour, baking powder, garlic, zest, and then fold in the cheese. Shape into 12 equal-sized- patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Refrigerate for an hour.
Preheat the fryer to 400-degrees. Coat the rack with cooking spray and gently transfer the fritters to the fryer. They are delicate so take your time. Cook for 7 minutes, carefully turn them over, and continue cooking for another 7 minutes or until golden.
They're ready! Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters are a new favorite around my house. I quickly learned always to make more than I think because they disappear as quickly as they cook.
Enjoy!
