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.

I was really excited to try these fritters, but I was disappointed. They were too dry and didn't have much flavor.

These fritters were delicious! I loved the crispy coating and the tender zucchini inside. I will definitely be making these again.

I found these fritters to be a bit bland. I think they could have used more seasoning.

These fritters were a bit too greasy for my taste. I think I would try baking them next time instead of air-frying them.

I've made these fritters a few times now, and they're always a hit. I love that they're a great way to use up leftover zucchini. I also appreciate that they're not too greasy, thanks to being air-fried.

These were so easy to make and turned out great! I used a mix of zucchini and yellow squash, and they were both delicious. I served them with a side of tzatziki sauce, and they were perfect.

I'm not a huge fan of zucchini, but these fritters were surprisingly good! The air fryer made them nice and crispy, and the zucchini flavor was very mild. I would definitely make these again.

These zucchini fritters were a hit with my family! They were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, with a delicious savory flavor. I loved that they were air-fried instead of deep-fried, so they were a healthier option.
