📝 Recipe Notes & Tips
Squeeze zucchini well! Excess moisture causes soggy fritters.
Use cheddar, mozzarella, parmesan, or a blend for deeper flavor.
Add chili flakes or jalapeños for a spicy kick.
Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–14 minutes, flipping halfway.
Freeze cooked fritters for up to 2 months.
