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.
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.
