Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters
- Lightly grease the bottom of the air fryer insert with oil or cooking spray. Place the zucchini patty on the insert and turn the heat to 375°F-380*F and air fry for 10 minutes or until golden.
- Serve with sour cream, yogurt, or marinara sauce.
Oven-Baked Zucchini Fritters
- Follow steps 1-4 above, then place the fritters on a baking sheet topped with a greased oven-proof cooling rack.
- Bake at 400°F for 20 minutes or until golden.
- Top with sour cream, salsa, ranch dressing or marinara sauce.
Notes
- Place the fritters in a single layer in your air fryer basket, the air needs to move freely around them.
- To prevent the fritters from sticking to your air fryer basket grease it with oil. You can also spray it with a little olive oil spray or nonstick cooking spray.
- I don't recommend using basket liners for this recipe. The air will not circulate and the underside of the fritters, and not brown.
