Description

Crispy Fried Zucchini brings a satisfying crunch with irresistible flavor, using fresh zucchini and panko breadcrumbs. This dish offers a quick and healthy option for snack time or as a delightful side for dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium zucchini, sliced
  • 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup flour
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet.
  2. Slice zucchini into 1/4" rounds and set aside.
  3. Whisk together breadcrumbs and salt.
  4. Place flour on a shallow plate and beat eggs in a shallow bowl.
  5. Dredge each zucchini round through the flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  6. Fry zucchini rounds until golden brown on both sides, repeating this process until all slices are cooked.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding herbs to the breadcrumb mixture.
Make sure the oil is hot enough for frying to achieve the best crispiness.
These zucchini can also be baked in the oven for a healthier alternative.
