Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 large bowl
Ingredients
- 4 zucchini, grated
- 1 cup breadcrumb
- ½ cup flour
- ½ cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 6 oz package prosciutto, chopped
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lemon
Instructions
- Grate the zucchini, using the smallest grating hole you have available. Place the grated zucchini in a cheese cloth or paper towel and squeeze all of the liquid out as best you can.
- In a bowl, combine zucchini, breadcrumbs, parmesan, prosciutto, flour, egg, lemon, olive oil, salt, and pepper. If the mixture is too wet, add ¼ cup more breadcrumbs. (It's too wet if you can't make a patty that sticks together)
- Take ½ cup of the mixture and flatten into a patty. Flatten fairly thin. It should make 10-15 patties.
- Preheat the air fryer to 375℉. Cook the zucchini for 20-25 minutes. Flip after 10 minutes.
- Dip in your favorite marinara sauce, creamy ranch, or aioli.

Notes
- Test the texture. If the mixture feels too wet and you can't form a patty. add more bread crumbs to help it hold its form.
- Creamy inside. The higher the temperature on the air fryer the creamier the inside of the fritter will be. I like to go with 350-375 degrees farenheit so that the inside isn't too creamy.
- Drain the zucchini. You NEED to squeeze the liquid from the zucchini. This is necessary if you want the crispy exterior on the fritter.
- These can be fried similar to Fried Cauliflower Cakes and made as a traditional fritter.
