Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound zucchini about 2 medium-sized zucchinis
  • 1 cup corn kernels canned or frozen
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup grated yellow onion
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon dried basil
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup almond flour or all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • cooking oil spray
  • sour cream, yogurt, herb dip, ranch dressing, etc... for serving, optional

Instructions

  • Preheat Air Fryer to 360˚F.
  • Shred the zucchini using the large holes on a box grater; transfer the grated zucchini to a kitchen towel. Wrap the kitchen towel around the zucchini and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can. Then, transfer the zucchini to a large bowl.
  • To the zucchini, add corn kernels, cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, paprika, and beaten eggs; stir to combine.
  • Add flour and baking powder; stir until everything is well incorporated. If mixture is too wet, add more flour. The drier the zucchini, the less flour you'll need to use.
  • Shape the mixture into 10 to 12 patties.
  • OPTIONAL: Place the uncooked patties in the freezer for around 5 to 8 minutes to keep their shape.
  • Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  • Working in batches - do not crowd the air fryer basket - place the fritters in the air fryer in a single layer and spray each patty with cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes.
  • Flip over the fritters; spray with cooking spray and continue to cook for 6 to 8 more minutes, or until browned.
  • Remove from air fryer and serve.
