If you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or side dish, this fried zucchini recipe is a must-try. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have crispy and delicious zucchini that's perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients:
- 2 medium zucchinis, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- Vegetable oil, for frying
Start by heating the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil heats up, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
Dip each zucchini round into the flour mixture, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it's fully coated. Finally, coat the zucchini in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing the breadcrumbs onto the zucchini to make sure they stick.
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the coated zucchini rounds into the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Fry the zucchini for 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy.
Remove the fried zucchini from the skillet and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
