Time 1h

Yield 7

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 medium green zucchini
½ teaspoon fine sea salt
1 piece cheesecloth
½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
1 large egg, lightly beaten
3 tablespoons fine bread crumbs
½ teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
1 medium shallot, grated
1 medium fresh jalapeno pepper, grated
½ cup fine bread crumbs, or as needed
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Grate zucchini using the large teeth of a grater. Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place in the sink to drain for 10 minutes.
  • Put zucchini in the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture from zucchini as possible.
  • Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, pepper, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini, shallot, and jalapeno until combined.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Place about 1/2 cup bread crumbs into a shallow plate or pie dish. Divide fritter batter into 7 portions. With oiled hands, gently roll each portion into balls. The batter will be very wet. Gently roll in the bread crumbs to cover on all sides. Continue with the rest of the batter. Pat the fritters slightly so excess bread crumbs fall off.
  • Air fry fritters in 2 batches until browned, about 15 minutes per batch.

These fritters are a healthy alternative to traditional fried zucchini. They're baked in the air fryer, so they're lower in fat and calories.

These fritters are so versatile, you can serve them with a variety of dipping sauces. I love them with tzatziki sauce, but they're also great with ranch dressing, ketchup, or even just a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

These fritters are simply delicious! The combination of zucchini, feta cheese, and herbs is perfect. I love the crispy texture on the outside and the tender texture on the inside.

These fritters are a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables. They're packed with zucchini, which is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K. They're also a good source of fiber.

I've made these fritters several times now and they're always a crowd-pleaser. I love how easy they are to make and how versatile they are. I've served them as a side dish, an appetizer, and even as a main course with a side of salad. They're always

These zucchini fritters were a hit at my last party! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious zucchini flavor. I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce and they were devoured in minutes.
