I need to restrict the access to the dashboard fon non-admin. Therefore i'm using this function in the functions.php:

function ggp_restrict_dashboard_access_function() {
    if (!current_user_can('administrator')){
        wp_redirect(home_url());
    }
}
add_action('admin_init', 'ggp_restrict_dashboard_access_function', 1);

Problem is that because of this, Ajax calls are returning a 301 for non logged in users as well as for logged in non-admin users.

How can i workaround this?

You need to also check it's not an AJAX request inside your hook:

if ( ! current_user_can( 'administrator' ) && ( ! defined( 'DOING_AJAX' ) || ! DOING_AJAX ) ) {
    wp_redirect( home_url() );
}
