Step 1

Clean and shred the zucchini. Please place them in a bowl lined with a paper towel to absorb more of the water. With another paper towel, pat the shredded zucchini to get the excess water out as best as you can.

Step 2

Next, add in the cheese, flour, breadcrumbs, salt, onion powder, ground black pepper, dry basil, and minced onion to the zucchini. Mix until all is combined.

Step 3

Finally, add in the beaten eggs, and you will have to mix the dough with your hands until it forms into a sticky dough that is easy to manipulate.

Step 4

Use a cookie scoop (I like using a medium OXO 1 ½ tablespoon) and scope up some of the zucchini mixtures and form it into balls. You should have 12 zucchini fritter balls.

Step 5

Use your hand and flatten each of the zucchini fritter balls into a small but thick pancake.

Step 6

Place 4 zucchini fritters in the Air Fryer basket in one cooking. You don’t want to overcrowd the basket for more evenly cooking.

Step 7

Cook the zucchini fritters on a manual setting at 360 degrees F for 9 minutes, then flip them and cook for an additional 8 to 9 minutes or until the zucchini fritters become golden brown.

Step 8

Once the zucchini fritters are cook take them out of the air fryer basket and place them on a cooling rack. Let them cool off for 5 minutes.

Step 9

Serve with sour cream and enjoy!
