Ingredients
Method
Place zucchini in a colander and sprinkle with salt; stand for 20 minutes. Using your hands, squeeze zucchini mixture very firmly to remove excess liquid; transfer to a large bowl.
Add egg, ricotta, parmesan, breadcrumbs, parsley and green onion to bowl, then season; stir until well combined. With damp hands, shape rounded tablespoons of zucchini mixture into balls; place on a baking-paper-lined tray. Spray all over with cooking spray.
Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes. Cut out a 22cm round from a piece of baking paper.
Taking care, line the air fryer basket with the baking paper round. Place zucchini balls in the basket; at 180°C, cook for 25 minutes, turning after 15 minutes of cooking time, until golden and cooked through.
Meanwhile, to make lemon yoghurt, combine remaining ingredients in a small bowl.
Sprinkle zucchini balls with salt flakes and serve with lemon yoghurt.
Serving suggestions
Air fryer zucchini balls are also perfect for lunch boxes or as the star of a grazing board for family and friends when they drop in.
