Cooking Directions

  1. Grate zucchini using the large teeth of a grater. Toss zucchini and salt together in a large colander and place into the sink to drain for 10 minutes.

  2. Transfer zucchini to the middle of a piece of cheesecloth; wrap cheesecloth around zucchini and squeeze to drain as much moisture as possible.

  3. Mix Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, egg, 3 tablespoons bread crumbs, black pepper, and garlic powder together in a large bowl. Stir in zucchini, shallot, and jalapeño until combined.

  4. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place 1/2 cup bread crumbs into a shallow plate or pie dish.

  5. Divide fritter batter into seven equal portions. With oiled hands, gently roll each portion into a ball; the batter will be very wet. Gently roll each ball in bread crumbs to cover all sides, then tap gently so excess bread crumbs fall off.

  6. Air fry fritters in two batches until browned, about 15 minutes per batch.
