Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters | Gluten-Free
Gluten-free crispy zucchini fritters made from grate zucchini, eggs, flour and fresh herbs!
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 2 stalks diced green onions
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup finely diced bell pepper
Yogurt Dipping Sauce
- 1/2 cup greek yogurt
- 1 clove minced garlic
- 1/2 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 squeeze lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini using a box grater. Place the grated zucchini in a colander and sprinkle it with salt. The salt will help draw out extra moisture.Toss to combine and let it sit while you prep the other ingredients.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, almond flour, minced garlic, green onions, parsley, black pepper, eggs, chopped bell pepper, salt and pepper.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees.
- Squeeze the grated zucchini with a kitchen towel to remove as much liquid as possible, discarding the liquid. Add the grated zucchini to the mixing bowl with the already mixed ingredients. Mix to combine.
- Line the preheated air fryer with a sheet of parchment paper (otherwise the mixture will fall through the grates and we don't want that!) Take a spoonful of the zucchini mixture, shape it into a small patty, pressing down gently since they will puff up in the air fryer. Then place it on the parchment-lined air fryer.
- Cook the zucchini fritters in the air fryer for about 7 minutes, then flip and cooking for another 7 minutes until they are crispy on the outside and golden brown around the edges. ENJOY the fritters hot and serve with dipping sauce if desired.
Notes
Storage: Store the fritters in an air-tight container in the fridge for 3-4 days.
I don't recommend freezing them as the texture will likely change when re-heated.
