I grew up on Zucchini Fritters made with yellow cornmeal and skillet-fried in hot grease. Fat singing in cast cast-iron skillet is the song of my childhood. My sister and I would eat the fried zucchini as soon as they hit the brown paper bag-lined plate.

But, these Easy Air Fryer Zucchini Fritters are good in a different way! It’s a similar flavor profile, but with a lot less fat. (Don’t have an air fryer? You can do them in an oven, too.)
