Vegan Air Fryer Recipes: Vegetable Fritters

Whether you’re looking for air fryer appetizers or snacks, these fritters are sure to be a hit. They’re loaded with zucchini, potato, and carrot (or other veggies!), can be made without oil, are gluten-free, and become wonderfully tender in the middle and crisp outside - perfect for serving with a dipping sauce at dinner parties, potlucks, and in lunch boxes.
Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 medium potatoes ((Yukon Gold or Russet))
- 1 medium carrot
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp chili powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp paprika powder
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- Black pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup chickpea flour
Instructions
- 1
You can watch the short video for visual instructions.Grate the zucchini, potatoes, and carrot. Then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a nut-milk bag, cheesecloth, or a clean kitchen towel.

Add the veggies to a skillet and stir in all spices. Cook the veggies over low-medium heat with a lid for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, then turn off the heat.

Add in the chickpea flour and stir with a spatula to combine. Let the mixture cool, until you can touch it.

Shape the mixture into 6 patties, using your hands. You can choose between the following three cooking methods:
- 5
--- Air-Fry ---
- 6
Cook at 380 °F (195 °C) for 15 minutes in your air fryer (flip after 10 minutes). I recommend spraying the basket of your air fryer with a little oil before adding the patties, otherwise, they may stick.
- 7
--- Pan-Fry ---
- 8
Heat some oil in a frying pan and place 3-4 patties in it. Fry on both sides until crispy (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- 9
--- Bake ---
- 10
Preheat the oven to 400 °F (205 °C) and bake the patties for 35-40 minutes on a lined baking sheet (flipping after 20-25 minutes). For a crispier result, I recommend spraying the patties with a little oil before baking and after flipping.
