These crispy and delicious fritters are packed with protein thanks to edamame beans and are a great way to enjoy a nutritious, high-protein meal. Perfect as a snack or a light meal, these fritters are easy to make using either an air fryer or stovetop.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup shelled, frozen, and defrosted edamame beans
  • 1 medium zucchini, shredded (with excess water squeezed out)
  • 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg or flax egg
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
  • Dash of red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1 green onion, diced (optional)

Instructions

  • Combine Ingredients:
    • In a food processor or high-powered blender, combine edamame, shredded zucchini, flour, egg (or flax egg), and any optional spices or green onion. Blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
  • Air Fryer Method:
    • Place a sheet of parchment paper in the bottom of the air fryer basket.
    • Drop spoonfuls of the edamame/zucchini batter into circles (about 3 tablespoons of batter per fritter).
    • Air fry at 390°F for about 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown. Cook time may vary slightly depending on your air fryer.
  • Stovetop Method:
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil.
    • Once the oil is hot, drop spoonfuls of the batter into the pan (each fritter should be about 3 tablespoons). Avoid overcrowding the pan.
    • Cook until the edges firm up and turn golden brown. Flip and cook the other side until golden brown.

Notes

  • If you prefer a vegan version, use a flax egg instead of a regular egg.
  • These fritters can be customized with different spices or herbs like parsley or cilantro.
