Ingredients
  

_For the Veggie Fritters:_

1 cup grated zucchini (excess moisture squeezed out)

1 cup grated carrots

1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color)

1/2 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup chickpea flour (or all-purpose flour for a gluten option)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for flavor)

2 large eggs

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil spray (for air frying)

_For the Dipping Sauce:_

1/2 cup Greek yogurt (or sour cream)

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1 teaspoon dried dill (or 1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped)

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Veggies: Grate the zucchini and carrots, then place them in a clean kitchen towel and twist to remove excess moisture. This step is crucial for getting crispy fritters!

    Mix the Fritter Batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, carrots, bell peppers, onions, chickpea flour, Parmesan cheese (if using), eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and form a cohesive batter.

      Shape the Fritters: Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties (about 3 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick). Place them on a plate or a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Air Fry the Fritters: Spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Place the fritters in a single layer in the basket, making sure not to overcrowd (you may need to do this in batches). Lightly spray the tops of the fritters with olive oil.

            Cooking Time: Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy on both sides.

              Make the Dipping Sauce: While the fritters are cooking, whisk together Greek yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

                Serve: Once the fritters are done, remove them from the air fryer and serve hot with the dipping sauce on the side.
