Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Zucchini
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.25 cup Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Start by washing and drying the zucchini thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice the zucchini into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Take a zucchini slice and dredge it in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all zucchini slices.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 350°F (175°C) before adding the zucchini.
Carefully place a few slices of zucchini into the hot oil, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried zucchini slices and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Repeat frying the remaining zucchini slices.
Serve the crispy fried zucchini slices warm, with your choice of dipping sauce, like marinara or ranch, if desired.
