Gluten-Free Zucchini Fritters
Summer’s favorite vegetable got a crispy upgrade. These gluten-free zucchini fritters are a great way to use the all-star vegetable for a quick snack or appetizer. Loaded with onion and parmesan cheese, they’re crispy on the outside but tender when you take a bite. It’s surprisingly easy to whip these up and let them cook in the air fryer, rather than in a pan of hot oil. (Bonus: This is a much healthier way of making them too because you use way less oil. Talk about a win!)
We whipped up a yogurt dill sauce, too, for a refreshing drizzle or dunk alongside the fritters. (It’s also delicious as part of a crudite or as an easy salad dressing.) You’ll probably forget you’re even eating vegetables, making air fryer zucchini fritters ultra kid-friendly to boot.
