Air Fryer Zucchini & Sweet Potato Fritters

With grated veggies, a bit of cheese, and some Sriracha- these air fryer zucchini & sweet potato fritters make a terrific side dish! Sure to become a family favorite!

What's better than a plate of fried zucchini?? Well, we could air fry and add some grated sweet potatoes... Ummm...YES!!!

These fritters have quickly become a new favorite! I made Zucchini Fritters a few weeks ago, and these are EVEN BETTER!

A little crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. With thin strips of sweet potato and zucchini, bound together with egg, flour, cheese, and Sriracha. Simple. Flavorful. Loaded with nutrients. And, absolutely delicious!

The hardest part of this recipe is grating the sweet potato. It's a bit of a workout! After that, the rest is smooth sailing!

I kept it pretty simple, but there are a ton of possible flavor options!

Don't have an air fryer??? You could also shallow fry in a skillet.

Why are my zucchini fritters soggy?

Zucchini, as well as other vegetables, tend to have a lot of water. After grating, squeeze out as much water as possible. A cheese cloth is the best method, but you can also use a clean kitchen towel and/or paper towels. Placing in a colander and pressing down will also work.

Air Fryer Tips

  • Don't overcrowd the basket.
  • Shake or flip the food- this will help to redistribute for more even browning.
  • Preheat for even faster results- simply turn on for 2-3 minutes while prepping.
  • Spray with oil- it's faster and easier than applying with a brush.

Ingredients
  • 2 medium zucchinis, grated
  • 1 medium sweet potato, grated
  • 1/2 c. gluten free flour (I used oat and almond)
  • 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 c. cheese, shredded
  • 2 eggs
  • 1-3 tsp. Sriracha
  • Salt and pepper
  • Optional: cream cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, and/or scallions
Instructions
  1. Grate the zucchini. Use a cheese cloth, clean kitchen towel, or paper towels to squeeze out the excess water. Then, pour into a large mixing bowl. Next, add the sweet potato, flour, Parmesan cheese, shredded cheese, eggs, Sriracha, salt, and pepper to the same mixing bowl. Use clean hands or a large spoon to mix well.
  2. Form into 8-10 patties, To get rid of any excess liquid, form the patties over the sink. Set the air fryer to 350 degrees and spray with cooking spray. Cook 4 at a time for 7-8 minutes. Next, flip and cook for another 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside. Then, cook the remaining fritters. Top with cream cheese, sour cream, Greek yogurt, and/or scallions.
