Zucchini and Squash Pizza Fritters

My sons said these tasted like pizza but better!  I air fried these to help keep them light and healthy.  The basil and thyme mixed with oregano and Italian cheeses really made the flavors pop. 

Ingredients:

1 yellow squash

1 zucchini

½ cup fresh basil

8 sprigs thyme leaves

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

½ cup shredded Italian cheese

1/3 cup whole wheat flour

1 egg

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Optional: pizza sauce to top

Directions:

1. Grate or chop squash and zucchini.  Transfer to a plate and sprinkle with salt. Let sit 30 minutes. (The salt helps draw out the water).
2. Use paper towels or hand towels to press down and extract water or wring out to remove as much excess water as possible.
3. Chop basil and thyme leaves. Add to a large bowl.
4. Add zucchini, basil, thyme, oregano, grated and shredded cheese, and egg to bowl.  Mix gently.  Add flour and use a spatula to scrape down the sides and incorporate the flour.
5. Use a large cookie scooper or spoon to form 6-8 large balls.  Flatten slightly to make patties/cakes.
6. Spray the basket of an air-fryer with non-stick spray.
7. Air fry at 370 for 10-15 minutes until lightly golden.
8. Top with a dollop of pizza sauce.
9. Enjoy!
