Ingredients for Zucchini Fritters

If you have zucchinis overflowing in your garden, grab a couple of them and a few other simple ingredients. I always like to see a quick overview of the ingredients so I know what to grab at the grocery store. Here is everything you will need:

• Zucchinis: shredded small with a box grater, no need to peel them
• Egg: helps bind the fritter together
• Flour: gives the fritters structure and just regular all purpose flour is all you need
• Chives: adds flavor
• Basil: adds flavor
• Salt and Black Pepper: adds flavor and the salt draws out moisture from the zucchini
• Mozzarella Cheese: adds gooiness
• Parmesan Cheese: adds flavor and crispiness

Dipping Sauce

• Sour Cream: acts as the base for the dipping sauce, plain Greek yogurt can also be used
• Feta Cheese: adds saltiness and flavor
• Parsley: adds freshness
• Lemon Zest and Juice: adds acidity and bright fresh flavor
• Garlic: adds flavor
• Salt and Pepper: adds flavor

I sprinkled some green onions on top for the photos so that’s totally an option if you want! The measurements for each ingredient can be found in the recipe card at the end of the post.

How to Make Zucchini Fritters

You won’t believe how easy it is to make these crisp zucchini fritters! Especially when you use the air fryer! Here are the steps:

• Prepare the Zucchini: Grate zucchini using a box grater or food processor and then place in a colander with salt and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Make the Sauce: While the zucchini is sitting, make the sauce. Place all ingredients into a blender and pulse until smooth. Set aside.
• Squeeze: Using a cheesecloth or a clean kitchen towel, squeeze out as much liquid from the shredded zucchini. The salt will have released a lot of moisture.

Best Steak for the Air Fryer

You want cuts of steak that are at least 1-inch thick with good marbling. Our first choice is a ribeye, but porterhouse, sirloin steak, New York strip, t-bone, top sirloin, and filet mignon would all work great too.

How to Air Fry Steak

This recipe is super easy, but it does take some planning ahead so be sure to start a day ahead. Here are the steps:

1. Prep: The night before you plan to eat the steaks, pat them dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper on both sides. Place them in the fridge uncovered.
2. Rub: Pull the steaks out of the fridge and let them come to room temperature. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F and rub olive oil all over both sides of the steaks.
3. Cook: Place them in the air fryer for 6 minutes then flip and cook another 6 minutes.
4. Rest: Let the steaks rest for 10 minutes and top with garlic butter (see instructions below) for serving.

For the Garlic Butter

1. Mix: Add all the ingredients to a small bowl and stir to combine completely.
2. Shape: Move the butter mixture to a piece of parchment paper and form it into a log shape. Twist the ends to close.
3. Refrigerate: Place in the fridge for at least an hour, up to 1 week.

Air Fryer Crispy Smashed Broccoli

Discover a simple and tasty way to cook broccoli using an air fryer. This recipe is perfect for busy individuals looking for a healthy and quick vegetable side dish. Those crispy edges are everything!

I have been on an air fryer recipes kick lately and one night I wanted to try something different with our veggies. So instead of roasting our broccoli, I tried cooking it in the air fryer. I loved that I got similar results to roasting it but in a fraction of the time. You can make this recipe from start to finish in less than 15 minutes!

Ingredients for Broccoli in the Air Fryer

First we will air fry the broccoli with a little oil and salt, and we will toss it in a delicious maple garlic sauce. Here are the items you will need to make this recipe:

• Broccoli Florets: cut into similar bite-sized pieces
• Olive Oil: helps the broccoli get crispy around the edges
• Salt: adds flavor
• Garlic: adds flavor
• Maple Syrup: adds a subtle natural sweetness
• Sesame Oil: adds flavor to the sauce we toss the roasted broccoli in at the end

The measurements for everything can be found in the recipe card down below.

Can I Use Frozen Broccoli?

Yes, frozen broccoli works great for this recipe. I would steam it until just heated through and then smash it as written in the instruction. Then proceed with the recipe as written to air fry it.

How to Make Air Fryer Broccoli

Here are the step-by-step directions for making this air fryer vegetable recipe:

1. Steam: We are going to parboil the broccoli first to get it nice and tender before sticking it in the air fryer. Place the broccoli in a steamer basket in a large sauce pan with boiling water. Cover the pan and let it steam until tender.
2. Flatten: Spread the steamed broccoli into a single layer on a cutting board or right in the air fryer basket and smash each one with the bottom of a sturdy drinking glass until it’s about 1/2 inch thick.
3. Toss: Put the smashed broccoli into a large bowl and drizzle with olive oil and salt and then toss to coat. Return them to the air fryer basket or baking sheets in a single layer (you may need to cook them in batches depending on the size of your air fryer) and cook at 400 degrees F for 8 minutes. You’ll want the edges to just start to get charred.
4. Stir: In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, maple syrup and sesame oil and then drizzle it over the broccoli and toss to coat.
5. Serve: Serve immediately while it’s crispy and hot!
