Follow these simple steps to create your Air Fryer Zucchini Tots:

1. Prepare Zucchini: Grate the zucchini using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated zucchini in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated zucchini, mozzarella cheese, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.

3. Form Tots: Using your hands, shape the mixture into small tots or balls, about the size of a tablespoon. Ensure they are compact so they hold together during cooking.

4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.

5. Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the zucchini tots in a single layer, ensuring they are not touching each other. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.

6. Mist with Oil: Lightly mist the tops of the zucchini tots with olive oil to promote browning and crispiness.

7. Cook: Air fry the tots for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time for even crispiness. Cook until golden brown and crispy.

8. Remove and Cool: Once cooked, carefully remove the zucchini tots from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

9. Repeat: If you have more tots to cook, repeat the process with the remaining mixture.
