Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters (with Corn and Feta)

Made with just a few simple ingredients, these zucchini fritters are packed with sweet summer flavor from corn and feta. I make these in the air fryer, so they are quick to throw together. Best enjoyed with pesto mayo!

Ingredients

  • 1 medium zucchini
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup flour
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 cup corn from 1 cob or canned
  • ½ cup feta cheese
  • 1 egg

Instructions

  • Dry Zucchini: Use a box grater to shred 1 medium zucchini (use the largest hole setting). Transfer to a mesh sieve, sprinkle with ½ tsp salt, and let drain while you gather the rest of the ingredients.
    Squeeze moisture out of the zucchini by pressing it down with a spoon, then transfer to a few layers of paper towels. Pat dry. You should be left with about 1 cup of shredded zucchini per zucchini.
    Shredded zucchini sits in a metal strainer placed over a yellow tiled surface.
  • Stir: Combine shredded zucchini with ½ cup flour, ½ tsp black pepper, and ½ tsp baking powder. Once fully coated, stir in 1 cup corn, ½ cup feta cheese, and 1 egg.
    A clear glass bowl contains flour, a cracked egg, corn kernels, chopped green onions, and crumbled cheese, with a wooden spoon resting inside.
  • Shape: Drop balls of the dough into your air fryer in ¼ cup-sized scoops (you may need to work in batches–my basket air fryer fits 5 fritters per batch). Lightly spray with oil and press with a spatula to create a thick puck.
    Five uncooked zucchini corn fritters sit on a parchment-lined baking rack over a yellow tiled surface.
  • Cook: Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 10 to 12 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
    Serve warm with your favorite dip (I love these with pesto mayo!).

Notes

Storage: These can be kept in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 days. It's best to layer them with paper towels to absorb any moisture that releases as they are stored. Reheat them in the air fryer so they get crispy again.
Oven: You can also make this summer zucchini appetizer in the oven by cooking on a sheet tray for 20-30 minutes at 400 degrees.
