Zucchini and Ricotta Meatballs in Air Fryer are a very light dish that you can prepare in a few minutes. You can serve these meatballs as a main course or as finger food for a delicious appetizer with friends.
It’s a very simple recipe with few ingredients, just the way I like it. Just grate the raw zucchinis and add them to the meatball mix.

How to prepare Zucchini and Ricotta Meatballs in Air Fryer
In a bowl, place the ricotta, the egg, and a pinch of salt. Grate the zucchini (if they contain a lot of water, I recommend squeezing them) and add to the mixture, finally add the breadcrumbs little by little and mix well, until you get a workable mixture.
Shape the meatballs by taking a bit of the mixture, rounding it, and slightly flattening it with your hands.
Put some breadcrumbs on a plate and coat the meatballs on both sides. Place them in the basket of the air fryer with parchment paper at the bottom and cook the zucchini meatballs at 340°F for 20 minutes.
Notes
You can store the meatballs in the fridge for a couple of days, in a sealed container.
