Ingredients
  

1 cup grated zucchini (excess water squeezed out)

1 cup grated carrot

1 cup fresh spinach, finely chopped

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen)

1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for crunch)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Salt and pepper to taste

Cooking spray or olive oil for spritzing

Instructions
 

Preheat the Air Fryer: Start by preheating your air fryer to 380°F (190°C) for about 5 minutes.

    Prepare the Veggies: In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, chopped spinach, and corn. Mix well and ensure the zucchini is dry to avoid sogginess in the fritters.

      Mix the Batter: To the vegetable mixture, add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese (if using), eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together until well combined, forming a thick batter.

        Shape the Fritters: Using your hands (lightly greased to prevent sticking), form small patties, about 2-3 inches in diameter. You should get around 10-12 fritters, depending on the size.

          Prepare the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil to prevent sticking.

            Air Fry the Fritters: Place a batch of fritters in the preheated basket in a single layer (avoid overcrowding). Spray the top lightly with olive oil for extra crunch. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Keep Cooking: Repeat with the remaining fritters, adjusting the spray and cooking time as needed.

                Serve and Enjoy: Remove the fritters from the air fryer and let them cool slightly before serving. These can be enjoyed warm either plain or with your favorite dipping sauce such as tzatziki or a spicy yogurt sauce!
