How To Make Zucchini Fritters (Air Fryer Method)

First, wash, dry, and grate or shred the zucchini using the larger holes of a grater.

Next, place the zucchini in a bowl and sprinkle some salt on it. Allow it to rest for about 15 minutes. The salt will help draw out extra moisture. 

After 15 minutes have passed, take small portions of the grated zucchini and use your hands to squeeze out all the excess liquid. This process will help the fritters get nice and crispy.

In a medium mixing bowl, mix to combine  the zucchini, gram flour, garlic powder, crushed black pepper, and salt. As it comes together, it will still be very sticky.

Next, form 10 patties out of the mixture using your hands. You may find scooping them with a spoon helps keep them a uniform size.

Preheat the Air Fryer at 350 F or 175 C and then line the air fryer basket with parchment paper and spray it with cooking spray.

Next, carefully place the patties in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray with cooking oil. 

Air fry the patties at 350 F or 175 C for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping once halfway through

Finally, allow them to cool and then serve them with a garlic herb dipping sauce.
