• 1 cup red split lentils, rinsed and drained
• 3 medium zucchinis, grated
• 3 oz (90 g) sweet corn
• 1 medium yellow onion, peeled
• 4 garlic cloves, peeled
• 1½ oz (45 g) buckwheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Instructions

Soak the red lentils in water for at least 6 hours. Drain and set them aside.

Place grated zucchinis in a colander and squeeze them with your hands.

In a food processor, combine onion, garlic, coriander, and parsley. Process them to a thick chunky paste. Transfer them to a big bowl.

Place drained lentils in a food processor and process until smooth.

Add lentil paste to the bowl with the onion mixture. Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the flour. Mix well.

Add the flour and mix well again. Form the balls from the lentil mixture, then flatten them.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then place fritters on it. Place the baking sheet in a freezer for 1 hour.

Preheat your air fryer to 300º F (150º C).

Spray the air fryer basket and fritters with coconut oil spray.

Fry for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve hot.
