Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 medium zucchini
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 medium potato cooked
  • 2 tablespoon chickpea flour
  • 2-3 garlic finely minced
  • 1-2 tsp  olive oil
  • salt and pepper

For Serving:

  • Ketchup or Yogurt tahini sauce

Instructions

  • Grate zucchini using a grater or food processor. In a mixing bowl, mix grated zucchini with a little salt and leave it for 10-15 min. Then squeeze out excess water from the zucchini using clean hands or using a cheesecloth.
  • Also, grate or mash the cooked potato*.
  • Combine zucchini, potato, corn, chickpea flour, garlic, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl.
  • Roughly take 2 tablespoon batter, give it a shape of a patty and place them on parchment paper**.
  • Lightly brush oil on the surface of each fritter. Preheat Air Fryer to 360F.
  • Place the fritters on the preheated Air Fryer mesh without touching each other. Cook them for 8 min.
  • Then turn the fritters and cook for another 3-4 min or until well done or till you get the desired color.
  • Serve warm with ketchup or yogurt tahini sauce (see notes to prepare)

Notes

  1. *Cooking potato - cook the potato in a microwave oven for 3 min. Then place in cold water for a few minutes. Peel and then grate or mash it.
  2. **Place the prepared patties on the parchment paper before cooking. It will help to brush the oil and then take it out without breaking or sticking to the bottom. (Please do not put the parchment paper inside the Fryer. The parchment paper is simply to keep the raw fritters before loading them into the Air Fryer)
  3. Add more flour to the batter, if necessary. 
  4. For the given quantity of ingredients and using my XL size Philips Air Fryer I cook these fritters in two batches. You can prepare a total of 8 medium to large-size or 12-14 small-size fritters.  
  5. For two medium-size zucchini, I could squeeze a little more than ½ cup of water. It is necessary to squeeze out the water as much as possible, to avoid getting mushy or soggy fritters. Also, pat dry, thawed corn kernels if you plan on using frozen ones.
  6. Yogurt tahini sauce - mix ½ cup yogurt with 1 tablespoon tahini and season with salt according to taste. 
  7. Please read the Helpful Tips and Ingredients section above for more tips and details.
