Instructions
- Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchinis and place them in a clean kitchen towel. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispy fritters.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Form the Fritters: Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape it into a small patty. Repeat for the remaining mixture.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook the Fritters: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray. Place the fritters in the basket in a single layer. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
