How To Make Ninja Foodi Woodfire Zucchini Fritters

Grate fresh zucchini in a mixing bowl, preparing to make fritters.

Prepare the Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or a food processor fitted with a grating attachment. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out excess moisture.

Combine grated zucchini with seasonings and herbs in a bowl.

Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, beaten egg, flour, diced dill, salt, and pepper. Stir until well combined, ensuring the mixture holds together.

Form Fritters: Take a small handful of the zucchini mixture and form it into a compact patty shape, about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Repeat with the remaining mixture, forming as many fritters as desired.

Arrange the zucchini fritters in the air fryer basket, ready to cook.

Grill the Fritters: Place the formed fritters directly onto the preheated grill grates, spacing them evenly apart to allow for even cooking. Grill for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and cooked through on the inside.

Cook the fritters in the Ninja Foodi until golden brown and crispy.

Pro Tips For Making Zucchini Fritters on Ninja Foodi Grill

  • Preheat the Grill: Ensure your Ninja Foodi Woodfire Grill is properly preheated before adding the fritters.
  • Squeeze Out Moisture: After grating the zucchini, be sure to squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible using a kitchen towel or cheesecloth.
  • Season Generously: Don’t skimp on the seasoning! Be generous with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices you choose to use.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Keep a close eye on the fritters while they’re grilling to prevent burning.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Grill: Avoid overcrowding the grill grates with too many fritters at once.
  • Serve Immediately: Zucchini fritters are best enjoyed hot off the grill, so serve them immediately after cooking for the best flavor and texture.
