Instructions

  1. Grate the zucchini using a cheese grater.
  2. Now place the zucchini over a muslin cloth or cotton napkin.
  3. Add 1tsp salt and mix.
  4. Let it sit for 15 – 20 minutes. This will help in releasing excess water from it.
  5. Now squeeze out the liquid from the zucchini using a muslin cloth.
  6. In a mixing bowl, add squeezed zucchini, onions, green onions, flour, corn starch, spices, salt if needed (already added for releasing water), and nutritional yeast (vegan)/ parmesan cheese (non-vegan) (both optional).
  7. Mix all ingredients nicely. Make sure the mixture is not too wet.
  8. Next, take out a scoopful of the mixture and shape them into small discs, and place them on parchment paper.
  9. Repeat and make 6 – 7 discs if you have a basket-type air fryer since it can accommodate this much only.
  10. Don’t overcrowd the basket and make sure to arrange in a single layer only.
  11. Preheat the air fryer at 400 F or 200 C for 4 minutes.
  12. Now place perforated parchment paper.
  13. And place the shaped fritters on the parchment paper.
  14. Spray little oil on the fritters. Keep it inside the air fryer.
  15. Start air fryer at 360 F or 180 C for 8 minutes.
  16. After that remove the basket and flip the cakes.
  17. And again start the air fryer at 375 F or 190 C for 4 minutes.
  18. Spray little oil on the patties or brush. This will make the fritters brown and crispy.
  19. keep an eye out after 10 minutes.
  20. Remove once perfectly cooked and crispy from the outside.
  21. Serve hot with any dips or sauces.

Important Tip – 

  • Add salt to the grated zucchini and let it sit for 15 minutes. Then squeeze out ALL EXCESS water using a clean muslin cloth or cotton kitchen napkin. Otherwise, it will be very difficult to make the fritters.
  • If the batter looks a little wet after squeezing and adding flour, then add bread crumbs to the mixture. It will help in soaking moisture and the mixture will be firm. Fritters will be crispy too.
  • Use only air fryer parchment paper (perforated).
  • Don’t place the parchment paper while preheating and without any weight on it. Else it will blow up with high-speed hot air and may catch fire.
