Ingredients:

  • 1 lb medium zucchini
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Grate the zucchini into a bowl and toss with kosher salt. Let it sit for 10 minutes to draw out moisture.
  2. Transfer the salted zucchini to a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze firmly until no more liquid escapes.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, beaten egg, Parmesan, flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and black pepper. Stir until cohesive.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and lightly spray the basket with olive oil.
  5. Shape the mixture into 12-16 small patties (approximately 2 inches wide) and place them in a single layer in the basket, leaving gaps for air circulation.
  6. Lightly spray the tops of the fritters and air fry for 7–9 minutes.
  7. Carefully flip each fritter, spray the flipped side, and cook for another 6–8 minutes until deep mahogany gold and edges are firm.
  8. Prepare the dip by mixing Greek yogurt, lemon juice, minced garlic, and chopped dill in a small bowl.
