Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized zucchini
- 1 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 2 cups vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash the zucchinis thoroughly and cut them into 1/4 inch thick slices.
In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free all-purpose flour, cornstarch, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix well to combine.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs together with 2 tablespoons of water until well combined.
In a third bowl, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese.
Dip each zucchini slice into the flour mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Next, dip the floured zucchini slice into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, coat the slice in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture, pressing down slightly to adhere the crumbs well.
Place the coated slices on a tray and repeat with the remaining zucchini.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the slices by about half.
Once the oil is hot, carefully add a batch of zucchini slices to the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried zucchini slices with a slotted spoon and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Repeat the frying process with the remaining zucchini slices.
Serve the gluten-free crispy fried zucchini slices immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
