Whether you’re looking for air fryer appetizers or snacks, these fritters are sure to be a hit. They’re loaded with zucchini, potato, and carrot (or other veggies!), can be made without oil, are gluten-free, and become wonderfully tender in the middle and crisp outside - perfect for serving with a dipping sauce at dinner parties, potlucks, and in lunch boxes.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • You can watch the short video for visual instructions.
    Grate the zucchini, potatoes, and carrot. Then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a nut-milk bag, cheesecloth, or a clean kitchen towel.
  • Add the veggies to a skillet and stir in all spices. Cook the veggies over low-medium heat with a lid for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat.
  • Add in the chickpea flour and stir with a spatula to combine. Let the mixture cool, until you can touch it.
  • Shape the mixture into 6 patties, using your hands. You can choose between the following three cooking methods:

Air-Fry

  • Cook at 380 °F (195 °C) for 15 minutes in your air fryer (flip after 10 minutes). I recommend spraying the basket of your air fryer with a little oil before adding the patties, otherwise, they may stick.

Pan-Fry

  • Heat some oil in a frying pan and place 3-4 patties in it. Fry on both sides until crispy (about 4-5 minutes per side).

Bake

  • Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C) and bake the patties for 35-40 minutes on a lined baking sheet (flipping after 20-25 minutes). For a crispier result, I recommend spraying the patties with a little oil before baking and after flipping.
  • Enjoy with a dip of choice, e.g. this vegan ranch dressing.
