Fried zucchini is a popular dish often associated with Mediterranean and American cuisines, offering a delightful way to enjoy this nutrient-rich vegetable. Typically prepared by slicing zucchini into rounds or strips, it is coated with breadcrumbs, flour, or a batter made from eggs and seasoning, then deep-fried or pan-fried to golden perfection. Zucchini itself is low in calories, rich in vitamins A and C, potassium, and antioxidants, making it a heart-healthy choice. However, frying can increase its calorie count and fat content significantly, depending on the cooking oil and method used. This dish is a tasty appetizer or side, providing a crunchy texture and savory flavor, but moderation is key for maintaining a balanced diet. To enhance its health profile, air frying or baking can be used as alternative cooking methods while retaining the dish’s signature crispiness.
