Crispy Fried Zucchini

Crispy Fried Zucchini is sliced into medallions, coated in a parmesan breadcrumb mixture, and fried until golden and crispy.

Ingredients :

  • 2 medium zucchini about 1 ½ lbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese.
  • 2 cups seasoned bread crumbs
  • canola oil for frying

Directions :

  • Trim the ends off the zucchini and slice into ½-inch disks.
  • In a small bowl, beat the eggs with ¼ teaspoon each salt and pepper. On a shallow plate, combine parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and ½ teaspoon salt and black pepper.
  • Add ½-inch of oil to a medium sized skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat to 350°F using a thermometer.
  • Dredge the zucchini in flour and shake off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture and then into the breadcrumb mixture, gently pressing to adhere. Repeat with the remaining slices.
  • Add zucchini to the hot oil in small batches cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
  • Drain on paper towels. Season with additional salt if desired.
