These air-fryer zucchini fritters have a crispy outer surface and tender-savory middle just as if they've been fried in a skillet. A simple dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of refreshing mint is all you need to complete the dish.

  • Grate zucchini on the large holes of a box grater over a clean kitchen towel. Gather the grated zucchini in the towel and squeeze over the sink to remove as much liquid as possible. Transfer the zucchini to a medium bowl. Add egg, Parmesan, flour, garlic powder, onion powder and pepper; stir until combined. Shape the mixture into 8 patties (about 3 inches wide).

  • Working in batches if necessary, coat the tops of the patties with cooking spray. Arrange them in a single layer in the fryer basket. Cook for 7 minutes; flip the patties and continue to cook until crisp and well browned, about 7 minutes more. Serve with sour cream and mint.
