🌿 Air Fryer Option
Preheat air fryer to 190°C (375°F).
Arrange patties on a greased tray.
Spray lightly with oil.
Air fry 8–10 minutes per side or until crispy.

Place fritters on a lined baking sheet, brush with oil.

⭐ Tips for Extra Crispiness
Always squeeze water from zucchini.
Keep heat medium—not too high.
Add a little cornflour (1 tbsp) for extra crunch.
Don’t overcrowd the pan.
