INGREDIENTS
- 1 pound zucchini, (about 2 medium zucchinis)
- 1 cup corn kernels, (canned or frozen)
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup yellow onion, grated
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup almond flour, OR all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- oil spray
- sour cream, yogurt, herb dip, ranch dressing, etc…, for serving, optional
INSTRUCTIONS
- Preheat Air Fryer to 360˚F.
- Shred the zucchini using the large holes on a box grater; transfer grated zucchini to a kitchen towel.
- Wrap kitchen towel around the zucchini and squeeze out as much water as you possibly can. Transfer zucchini to a large bowl.
- To the zucchini, add corn kernels, cheese, onion, garlic, parsley, salt, pepper, basil, oregano, paprika, and beaten eggs; stir to combine.
- Add flour and baking powder; stir until everything is well incorporated. If mixture is too wet, add more flour. The drier the zucchini, the less flour you’ll need to use.
- Shape the mixture into 10 to 12 patties.
- OPTIONAL: Place the raw patties in the freezer for around 5 to 8 minutes to keep their shape.
- Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Working in batches – DO NOT crowd the air fryer basket – place the patties in the air fryer in a single layer and spray each patty with cooking spray. Cook for 6 minutes.
- Flip over the patties; spray with cooking spray and continue to cook for 6 to 8 more minutes, or until browned.
- Remove from air fryer and serve.
