Directions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F.

2. Shred the zucchini and carrots. Squeeze the zucchini very well with a clean towel or paper towels to remove as much moisture as possible.

3. In a bowl, mix the zucchini, carrots, egg, flour, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper until combined.

4. Divide the mixture into 6 portions and shape into thin fritters.

5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the fritters in a single layer and lightly spray the tops.

6. Air fry for 5–6 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 5–6 minutes, or until golden and crisp on both sides.

7. Let them rest for 1–2 minutes before serving so they firm up a little more.

Notes / Tips

  • Squeeze the zucchini really well or the fritters may turn too soft.

  • Keep the fritters thin so they cook through and crisp more evenly.

  • Do not overcrowd the basket; cook in batches if needed.

  • A light spray of oil helps the edges brown better in the air fryer.

Variations

  • Add a little chopped parsley or dill for a fresher flavor.

  • Swap Parmesan for crumbled feta for a saltier twist.

  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.

  • Serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or a simple garlic dip if you want a snack-style version.
