Equipment

Instructions

Make the sauce:

  • Prepare the sauce/dip: add sour cream or Greek yogurt, dill weed, salt and pepper, to taste, lemon juice, and garlic powder in a bowl. Stir to combine and transfer into a bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and refrigerate while you make the fritters.

Make the fritters:

  • Grate your zucchinis: wash and trim the zucchinis. Grate the zucchinis using a box grater. Transfer the zucchinis into a colander and sprinkle them with salt. Let the zucchinis stand for 10 minutes and drain.
  • After 10 minutes, squeeze the zucchinis and transfer them onto a cheesecloth. Twist the cloth to remove excess liquid and place the zucchinis in a bowl.
  • Add flour, Parmesan cheese, egg, and garlic powder. Stir until all is well combined.
  • If needed, season with additional salt.

Cook the fritters:

  • Preheat your air fryer for 10 minutes at 350°F.
  • Shape the mixture into 8 patties.
  • Working in batches if necessary, coat the tops of the fritters with cooking spray. Arrange the fritters into a frying basket, in a single layer, and air-fry for 7 minutes. Flip the fritters and air-fry them for another 7 minutes.

Serve:

  • Serve the zucchini fritters with prepared sour cream, dill sauce/dip.

Notes

Make sure to remove excess water from the zucchinis, otherwise, you will end up with a soggy mess.
