These Air Fryer Zucchini and Corn Fritters make a great healthy breakfast, brunch or even a light dinner.
These golden bites are rich in flavor, effortlessly becoming the meal’s star. Each bite instantly transports me to sunny garden gatherings. Made with fresh zucchini and paired with sweet corn, they celebrate nature’s gifts. The parmesan adds a savory twist, while oat flour ensures they’re light and gluten-free.
I often pair them with whipped cottage cheese for added protein or herbed yogurt. And, if leftovers emerge, they’re perfect for tomorrow’s snack or a kid’s school lunch.

Zucchini Prep
Grate the zucchinis. Place the grated zucchini in a cloth or paper towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure crispy fritters. In a large bowl, combine the squeezed zucchini, corn, eggs, chopped parsley, parmesan cheese, oat flour, salt, pepper, and oregano. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

Air Fryer Time
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties. Ensure they aren't too thick so they can cook evenly in the air fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 185°C. Once preheated, place the fritters in the air fryer in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap. Air fry the fritters for 12 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even browning. Once golden brown and crisp, remove from the air fryer. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes
Properly squeezing out moisture from the grated zucchini is vital. Excess moisture can make the fritters soggy. Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel helps achieve the best result.
Keep the patties consistent in size. This ensures even cooking in the air fryer.
Fritters should be golden brown. If you’re unsure, extend the cooking time in 2-minute increments.
Oat flour can be replaced with regular all-purpose flour or almond flour for a gluten-free version.
Let fritters cool completely before storing. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
