Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup flour (or almond flour)
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 green onion, finely sliced

Instructions

  1. Shred the zucchini into a strainer placed over a towel and sprinkle with salt. Let sit for about 10 minutes to draw out excess water.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg, flour, Parmesan cheese, baking powder, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and green onion.
  3. Pat the salted zucchini dry with a towel and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients. Mix until well combined.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F and lightly spray the basket with oil.
  5. Form the mixture into four fritter cakes and place them in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Cook for 10 minutes, flip each fritter, then cook for an additional 5 minutes until golden brown.
  6. Serve warm with optional garnishes like sour cream or extra green onion.
