Put zucchini patties in the air fryer for 5 minutes.
Flip over the pattie for an additional 5-10 minutes or until brown.
Tips:
Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to the recommended temperature for the recipe. In this case, preheat it to 200°C (or 400°F) for about 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
Use the Right Accessories: Place the potatoes and zucchini cakes on the air fryer basket or tray in a single layer. It’s a good idea to use a perforated parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Spray with Cooking Oil: Before placing the cakes in the air fryer, lightly spray them with cooking oil using an oil mister or non-aerosol cooking spray. This will help achieve a crispy exterior.
Cook in Batches: Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the cakes in batches to avoid overcrowding. Overcrowding can lead to uneven cooking.
Flip Halfway Through: Just like with the oven method, flip the potato and zucchini cakes carefully with a spatula or tongs halfway through the cooking time. This ensures even browning on both sides.
Adjust Cooking Time: Air fryers cook food faster than conventional ovens. Keep a close eye on the cooking time. You may need to reduce the cooking time slightly from the oven recipe. Start with 12-14 minutes, and adjust as needed.
Check for doneness: To check for doneness, use a fork or toothpick to pierce a cake. It should be tender on the inside, and the outside should be crispy and golden.
Enjoy with Dipping Sauce: These cakes are delicious with a variety of dipping sauces like tzatziki, salsa, or a homemade garlic aioli. Get creative with your sauces for added flavor.
