These crispy air fryer zucchini fritters are perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside, served with a tangy feta dill yogurt dip that adds a refreshing Mediterranean flair.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchinis, shredded (about 2 cups)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup (60g) all-purpose flour (can substitute with almond flour for gluten-free)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil spray for air frying
  • ½ cup (120g) plain full-fat Greek yogurt
  • ¼ cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 small garlic clove, minced (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste for dip

Instructions

  1. Shred the zucchinis using a box grater or food processor into a large bowl (about 2 cups).
  2. Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the shredded zucchini using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  3. In the bowl with zucchini, add beaten eggs, all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined. Add more flour if mixture is too wet.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Form the batter into small patties about 2-3 inches in diameter using a tablespoon. You should get 10-12 fritters.
  6. Spray the air fryer basket lightly with olive oil spray. Place fritters in a single layer without overcrowding; cook in batches if needed.
  7. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 minutes, then flip carefully and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. While fritters cook, combine Greek yogurt, crumbled feta, chopped dill, lemon juice, minced garlic (if using), salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well and refrigerate until serving.
  9. Serve fritters warm with a generous dollop of feta dill yogurt dip on the side.

Notes

Drain zucchini thoroughly to avoid soggy fritters. Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary. Preheat the air fryer for best crispiness. Flip fritters gently to keep their shape intact. The dip flavors improve if made ahead and refrigerated. For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with almond or chickpea flour. Vegan option available by substituting eggs with flax eggs and using dairy-free yogurt and vegan Parmesan.
