Why You’ll Love Zucchini Ricotta Fritters
These Zucchini Ricotta Fritters are ridiculously easy to prepare, and a hit with everyone who tries them 😋. They’re a great way to use up all of that garden zucchini and the ricotta cheese is such a great addition! They’re not heavy at all, and by squeezing out all the excess 💧 water you will always get a fluffy and delicious bite.
How to Prepare
👩🍳 Start by using a box grater to grate your zucchini (you should have about 1 cup total). 🥒 Then, place the zucchini into a nut milk bag or cheesecloth (or use your clean hands). 💧Squeeze out as much water as you can. 🥣 Now, add the ricotta, egg, salt, grated zucchini, parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and basil to a bowl. Mix well until fully combined. 🌀 Using a 1/4 cup measure, scoop out a portion of the mixture into your hands and then roll into a ball and flatten into a disc. Repeat this step for the rest of the mixture; you should have 6-7 discs in total. ♨️ Spray the discs with cooking spray and cook in a 400F (200F) air fryer for about 10 minutes, or until lightly browned all over.
