Description

Cheesy, savory zucchini squares made with Bisquick, Parmesan, and garlic — scooped onto parchment and air fried in just 15 minutes. Perfectly portioned with crisp golden edges on every piece.

Ingredients 

  • 5 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ cup onion, grated
  • 2 cups Bisquick
  • 3 cups grated zucchini, dried well

Instructions

  • In a large mixing bowl, mix together the eggs, oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and grated onion.
  • Fold in the Bisquick until just combined.
  • Grate the zucchini and place it on paper towels to remove the excess liquid — otherwise the batter will be too wet to hold its shape.
  • Fold in the dried zucchini until evenly distributed.
  • Line the air fryer basket with parchment paper cut to fit. Using a cookie scoop, drop portions of batter onto the parchment about an inch apart, and flatten each one slightly.
  • Air fry at 330°F for 10 to 15 minutes, until golden and set. Start checking at 8 minutes. If the tops brown too quickly, lay a piece of foil loosely over them.
  • Check that they're fully cooked through, then let cool 2 to 3 minutes before lifting off the parchment. Plate, serve, and enjoy!

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Box grater
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Cookie scoop (about 1½ tablespoons)
  • Parchment Paper
  • Paper towels or clean kitchen towel

Notes

  • Dry the zucchini thoroughly. This is the most important step. Wring it in a clean kitchen towel until it stops dripping.
  • Don't crowd the basket. Leave an inch between each scoop and work in batches. Crowding traps steam and you lose the crisp edges.
  • Flatten each scoop slightly so the centers cook through at the same rate as the edges.
  • Air fryers vary. Start checking at 8 minutes.
  • Oven method: Scoop onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and bake at 350°F for 18 to 22 minutes.
  • Store in the fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
