Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Place the grated courgettes in a large bowl, sprinkle with 1 tsp salt, mix and let sit for 1 hour. Then transfer them to a colander, drain excess liquid and, placed on a clean kitchen towel, press well to remove as much moisture as possible. Return the dried courgettes to a clean bowl.

2. 2

   Add the crumbled feta, thinly sliced green onions, parsley and dill. Mix, then sprinkle with flour, mix again, beat in the egg and add the breadcrumbs. Combine the ingredients into a homogeneous mixture and shape about eight fritters.

3. 3

   Brush each side of the fritters with vegetable oil. Preheat the air fryer to 180 °C, place the fritters in a single layer and cook for 12 minutes. Flip them and cook for another 5–8 minutes until golden and firm. If needed, cook in two batches.

4. 4

   Serve the fritters with sour or Greek yogurt, drizzled with a little olive oil, or alongside a fresh salad and poached eggs. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
