Can you cook Carrot and Zucchini Fritters in an air fryer?
Yes, you can! Before you place your fritter batter into the air fryer, consider freezing your shaped fritter mixture for 10 or so minutes to help them keep their form in the air fryer. Be sure to grease the air fryer basket with cooking oil to ensure nothing sticks or use baking paper.
