Ingredients

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.

Air-Fryer Zucchini Fries image

Instead of french fries with my burgers and sandwiches, I love to serve these air-fryer zucchini fries. They're crispy, delicious and a wonderful way to use up the zucchini from my garden. -Matthew Hass, Ellison Bay, Wisconsin
