Method
To make the fritters, grate and salt the courgette for about 5 minutes, then drain – this helps remove as much moisture as possible.
Put the courgettes, flour, a pinch of sea salt and black pepper, the garlic powder and nutritional yeast (if using) in a large bowl. Stir to combine. Add in the spring onions, herbs, sweetcorn and water and mix together.
Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 2 minutes.
To make the dipping sauce, mix the ingredients in a jar.
Spray a baking tin with a little oil. Add a heaped tablespoon of the batter to the tin and flatten a little so you get a roundish pancake. Repeat to fill the tin. Spray or brush with a little more oil.
Air fry for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 3 minutes, or until cooked through. Repeat with any remaining mixture
