How To Make Air Fryer Zucchini Burgers
Use a vegetable peeler or food grater and grate your zucchini. Then spread it over paper towels, sprinkle with some salt, and wait for about 10 to 15 minutes. The water will appear on top of the zucchini. Blot with paper towels to remove the moisture.
In a large mixing bowl, add the zucchini, onions, bread crumbs, eggs, salt, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to form a mixture. If you need more bread crumbs, add them. You want them to stay together.
Shape the zucchini mixture into burger shapes. Spray your Air Fryer Basket with cooking spray, and then add your burgers. (Alternative you can use a silicone air fryer liner) set the temperature to 350 degrees F, air fryer setting, for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip halfway during the cooking process.
How Do I Grate My Zucchini?
The zucchini is the most popular summer squash. It’s so abundant that many people find themselves with too much of it!
If you’re looking to grate your zucchini, here are two ways to do it. First, use a box grater and grate the skin off of the zucchini before grating its flesh. Second, use a food processor or mandolin slicer-grater attachment on your food processor.
How Many Zucchinis Do I Need For 2 Cups of Zucchini?
Depending on the size of the zucchini, you will usually need 1 medium zucchini for every 1 cup of grated zucchini. I always buy 1 extra than the recipe calls for to ensure that I have enough zucchini.
How To Remove The Moisture From The Zucchini?
If you grate zucchini for a long time and want to get all the moisture out before air frying or baking.
For the best results, you should not only peel off any skin but also remove as much excess liquid from inside. To do this, pile your grated squash into a paper towel wrap tightly with another layer on top, so there’s no air can seep in between them; give each one an extra squeeze over the sink while holding onto opposite sides of both paper towels.
How Long Are Zucchini Burgers Good For?
Zucchini Burgers that are not eaten after cooked should be placed into an airtight container and stored in the refrigerator. They will last for about 2 to 3 days.
You can either reheat them in the microwave or the air fryer, heat them until warmed through.
