Description

Delicious and crispy Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters with sweet corn and tangy feta cheese. These light, savory fritters are easy to make and perfect as a snack or appetizer, offering a fresh summer flavor with a healthy twist by using the air fryer for a crispy, oil-light finish.

Ingredients

Zucchini Mixture

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup corn, from 1 cob or canned
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  1. Dry Zucchini: Use a box grater to shred 1 medium zucchini using the largest hole setting. Transfer the shredded zucchini to a mesh sieve, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt, and let it drain while you prepare the other ingredients. Then press the zucchini down with a spoon to squeeze out excess moisture. Transfer the zucchini to paper towels and pat dry thoroughly. You should be left with about 1 cup of shredded zucchini per zucchini.
  2. Stir Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the dried shredded zucchini with ½ cup flour, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp baking powder. Mix until all the zucchini strands are evenly coated. Then stir in 1 cup of corn, ½ cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1 egg until incorporated.
  3. Shape Fritters: Using a ¼ cup scoop, drop portions of the mixture into your air fryer basket. You may need to do this in batches, as a typical basket fits about 5 fritters. Lightly spray the tops with oil and press down gently with a spatula to form thick, flat pucks.
  4. Cook: Air fry the fritters at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  5. Serve: Serve the fritters warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as pesto mayo, for a flavorful bite.

Notes

  • Storage: Store fritters in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Layer with paper towels to absorb moisture. Reheat in the air fryer to restore crispiness.
  • Oven Alternative: You can bake these fritters in the oven at 400°F (200°C) on a sheet tray for 20-30 minutes until golden and crispy as an alternative to air frying.
