4 Ingredient Zucchini and Edamame Fritters (High Protein)
These 4 ingredient zucchini and edamame fritters make a tasty snack or high protein addition to any meal. Loved by both kids and adults!
Servings: 6 fritters
Ingredients
- 1 cup edamame beans shelled, frozen and defrosted
- 1 medium zucchini shredded (with excess water squeezed out), about 1 cup
- 4 tablespoon all purpose flour
- 1 egg or flax egg
Optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Dash of red pepper flakes
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 green onion diced
Instructions
- In a food processor or a high-powered blender combine edamame, shredded zucchini, flour, egg and additional spices and green onion (if using). Blend until smooth (about 2 minutes).
Air Fryer Method
- Place a single sheet of parchment paper in the basket of your air fryer (ONLY on the bottom). Drop the edamame/ zucchini batter into circles on the parchment paper (each fritter should be about 3 tablespoon of batter). Be careful not to overcrowd your air fryer as they will not bake properly.
- Air fry at 390F for about 12 minutes (flipping ½ way) until tops are golden brown (all air fryers are different so cook time may slightly change).
Stovetop Method
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoon of cooking oil.
- Once oil is hot, drop edamame/ zucchini mixture into the hot pan (each fritter should be about 3 tablespoon of batter)- do not overcrowd the pan.
- Once edges of the fritters begin to firm up and turn golden brown, flip the fritters and cook until both sides are brown!
Notes
This batter is wet, but If you find your batter is still VERY wet (to the point that it will not hold it’s shape at all) add 1 additional tablespoon of flour.
