Set air fryer to 400° F.
Use a box grater to coarsely grate the zucchini and onion. Place grated zucchini and onion in a colander or fine mesh sieve and sprinkle with salt. Place colander into a bowl to collect liquid. The salt will draw moisture out of the zucchini. Set aside for 20 minutes.
Discard the liquid that has collected in bowl and press out as much of liquid as possible. Take zucchini and onion mixture and place into a clean kitchen towel and twist tightly. Squeeze the towel and drain as much liquid as possible into the bowl or sink. Discard all liquid.
Place the strained zucchini mixture back into the large bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Mix until well combined.
Form 8 patties out of the mixture and place on a plate. Spray the basket of air fryer with cooking spray and place as many patties as will fit. Cook for 15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Continue with rest of patties until they are all cooked. Serve warm.
