Ingredients
2 medium zucchini, sliced into 1/4-inch rounds
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (regular, panko, or Italian-style)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Chopped parsley for garnish (optional)
Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)
Instructions
- Wash and dry the zucchini. Slice into 1/4-inch thick rounds.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each zucchini slice into the flour, then the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 1/2 inch of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until hot.
- Fry zucchini in batches, 2–3 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
