Steps
The zucchini and onion fritters are very simple and quick to prepare. First, place the water, eggs, grated Parmesan, flour, salt, and black pepper in a bowl and mix with a fork until you get a smooth batter.
Add the zucchini and onions sliced very thinly (I used a mandolin, if you don’t have one, cut slices about 1/16 inch thick with a knife) and mix them well into the batter.
Scoop a bit of the mixture with a teaspoon and drop it into hot oil, adjust the shape if necessary, and cook the zucchini and onion fritters over medium/low heat for 5/7 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
Drain the zucchini and onion fritters on absorbent paper and serve them.
Tips:
Zucchini and onion fritters can be stored at room temperature for a few hours or in the fridge for a couple of days. They cannot be baked or cooked in an air fryer.
