Instructions

  1. Step 1: Place grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze firmly for 2 minutes to remove excess moisture—this ensures crispiness; discard the liquid.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine squeezed zucchini, 100g Parmesan, 3 eggs, 30g almond flour, 2g garlic powder, 1g oregano, 2g salt, and 1g black pepper; mix until fully incorporated and holding together.
  3. Step 3: Divide the mixture into 4 equal portions (about 100g each), shaping each into a 1-inch-thick patty; place them on the air fryer basket lined with parchment paper.
  4. Step 4: Lightly brush each patty with 15ml olive oil, then air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and crispy around the edges.
