  3. In a bowl, mix the drained zucchini with eggs, chickpea flour, Parmesan, garlic, black pepper, onion powder, and parsley until combined.
  4. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil. Scoop and flatten the batter into patties, leaving space for cooking.
  5. Air fry the fritters for 10-12 minutes, checking halfway through.
  6. Flip the fritters and cook for an additional 8 minutes until golden brown.
  7. Let the fritters rest for 2 minutes before serving.
