Ingredients
  • 4 cups shredded zucchini
  • 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt divided
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup green onions diced
  • 1 tablespoons dill finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
  1. Add the shredded zucchini to a large colander and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Let it sit for 15 minutes.

  2. After that, squeeze all of the excess water out, plate on a clean kitchen towel or paper towels, and pat dry.

  3. Transfer the drained zucchini to a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder, remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, eggs, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, garlic, green onions, and dill. Stir until combined.

  4. Preheat the Air fryer to 390 F. Add parchment paper to the basket.

  5. Take about 2 tablespoons of the mixture, form a fritter, and place it in the air fryer basket.

  6. Air fry the fritters for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they're golden and crispy.

  7. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture.

  8. Serve warm with lemon on the side and your favorite dipping sauce.
