Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
Seasonings:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Cooking Component:
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- Cut 2 medium zucchinis into thin, uniform ¼-inch rounds using a sharp knife for consistent cooking.
- Arrange three shallow dishes for breading: first with 1 cup all-purpose flour, second with 2 beaten eggs, third with 1 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
- Roll each zucchini round first in flour, shaking off excess to create a light, even coating that helps eggs adhere.
- Dunk floured rounds into beaten eggs, ensuring complete egg coverage for crispy breading.
- Transfer egg-coated rounds to seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing gently to make crumbs stick thoroughly on both sides.
- Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a heavy skillet to 375°F, checking temperature with a cooking thermometer.
- Carefully place breaded zucchini rounds into hot oil, working in small batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Fry each batch for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy, maintaining consistent oil temperature.
- Transfer fried zucchini to a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil and preserve crunchiness.
- Serve immediately while hot and crisp, paired with marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
Notes
- Choose medium-sized zucchini that are firm and fresh for the best crispy texture.
- Add grated Parmesan or herbs to breadcrumbs for extra flavor and depth in your coating.
- Pat zucchini slices dry with paper towels before breading to help the coating stick better and prevent soggy results.
- Maintain oil temperature around 350°F to ensure evenly crispy zucchini without burning the breading.
