Grated zucchini, eggs and Turkish white cheese are mixed into fritters and cooked in an air fryer instead of hot oil, making a lower-fat version of the classic recipe.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the zucchini

15 min

Grate and salt the zucchini. Leave for 15 minutes to draw out the water, then squeeze firmly with your hands to drain them.

2

Mix the ingredients

10 min

Mix the drained zucchini with the eggs, whole-wheat flour, Turkish white cheese, dill and black pepper.

3

Shape the fritters

10 min

Shape the mixture into small, palm-sized fritters.

4

Cook in the air fryer

12 min

Preheat the air fryer to 190°C / 375°F. Arrange the fritters in the basket and cook for 12 minutes, turning halfway through. If you do not have an air fryer, bake on a tray lined with baking paper in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F for 18 minutes.

Reminder

Squeeze the zucchini thoroughly. Excess water will loosen the mixture, and the fritters may fall apart in the air-fryer basket. Allergens: contains wheat (gluten), milk and dairy products, and eggs.

Kabağı rendeleyip tuzladıktan sonra tarifte yazan 15 dakika yerine tam 20 dakika beklettim, suyu daha iyi çekince köfteler airfryer'da dağılmadan bütün kaldı; 190 derecede 12 dakika tam kıvamındaydı.
