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.
