Fried Zucchini Recipe

Here is a great, quick recipe with yummy results.

Zucchini
Safflower oil (or another high heat oil)
Panko Bread Crumbs
Parmesan Cheese
Eggs
Salt & pepper

The amount used can be increased or decreased depending on how much you want.

In a bowl, crack the egg(s) and whisk the yolk and white together. In a separate bowl/plate, place the bread crumbs, Parmesan and salt and pepper.

Pour your oil into a deep frying pan and heat to 350 degrees.

Slice the zucchini length-wise. Or smaller depending on how you want to serve it.

When the oil is ready, take a piece of sliced zucchini and dip it in the egg bath. Make sure the egg drips off the slice and has not coated it too much. Then dredge the slice through the bread crumb mix. Pat the bread crumbs onto the slice and then carefully place it into the hot oil.
After about 2-3 minutes (your call on how fried you want it) use a slotted spoon or steel strainer to remove the piece from oil. Place on a paper towel to dry and sprinkle a little more Parmesan on it. Repeat with all the slices. You can fry multiple pieces of course, just make sure not to crowd the fryer.

I have used an aioli for dipping as you might want to use something thin on the chunky pieces. Marinara, ranch, and blue cheese would work well too.


I think I am going to add some herbs to the seasoning next time to liven up the flavor.

Enjoy!!!!
