Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini shredded
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 green onions diced

Instructions

  • Start by grating your zucchini, and then place it in a strainer. Sprinkle liberally with salt, and stir the zucchini around. Allow the zucchini to drain off excess liquid.
  • Place a bowl under the zucchini to catch the liquid.
  • Once the zucchini has sat for 20 minutes, squeeze the zucchini with a paper towel to remove any extra liquid. Or use a cheesecloth.
  • Then place zucchini in a bowl, add the egg, flour, parmesan cheese, and baking powder, 1 green onion, and garlic powder. Stir till mixed.
  • Form patties, and then place in a preheated 375 degree air fryer. Cook for 10 minutes and flip. Air fryer for another 5-10 minutes or until the fritters are golden brown and fully cooked.
  • Remove zucchini fritters, then top with sour cream and the remaining green onions. Or dip in ranch dressing.

Notes

Bake Directions: Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Assemble fritters then place on greased baking sheet. Bake for 10 minutes, flip, and bake another 5-10 minutes or until they are done.
Fry Directions: Add oil into a pan, and then let it get nice and hot. I aim for 350-375 degrees. Then place fritters in hot skillet and cook 2-3 minutes on each side or until it is fuly cooked.
Feel free to add any spices to change up the flavor of the fritters.
Store any leftover zucchini fritters in the airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
