How to Make Fritters in Your Air Fryer

Making fritters in your air fryer is a delightful way to enjoy a crispy treat without the excess oil. To start, gather your ingredients. You’ll need some grated vegetables such as courgettes, carrots, or sweetcorn, alongside flour, egg, and your choice of seasoning.

Begin by squeezing out any excess moisture from the grated vegetables using a clean cloth or paper towel. In a mixing bowl, combine the vegetables with a beaten egg, a few tablespoons of flour, and seasoning to taste. If you're feeling adventurous, you could add herbs like parsley or chives for an extra flavour boost.

Once the mixture is ready, shape it into small patties or balls. Preheat your air fryer to around 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes. Lightly spray the basket with cooking oil before placing the fritters inside, ensuring they don’t touch to allow for even cooking. Cook them for about 10-12 minutes, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp.

Serve your air-fried fritters warm with a dollop of sour cream or a tangy dip of your choice. Enjoy this healthier take on a classic snack!
