Grate the zucchinis and the carrot. Once grated, place the vegetables in a dish for further preparation.
After grating the zucchinis and carrot, transfer them to a dish. Ensure they are evenly distributed for the next step.
Using a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated zucchini and carrot. This step is crucial to achieve the desired texture of the fritters.
In a large bowl, combine the grated zucchini, grated carrot, panko breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix the ingredients well until they are evenly combined.
Take the combined mixture and shape it into small patties or fritters, aiming for sizes around 2-3 inches in diameter. This step sets the stage for cooking.
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's ready for cooking the fritters efficiently.
Place the shaped fritters in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not touch. Proper spacing allows for even cooking.
Air fry the fritters for 8 minutes, remembering to flip them halfway through the cooking process. Monitor until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture.
Once the fritters are cooked to perfection, remove them from the air fryer and allow them to cool slightly before serving.
Serve the zucchini fritters garnished with your preferred toppings, such as fresh herbs, a dollop of yogurt, or a squeeze of lemon juice. Enjoy the delightful flavors you've created!
