Crispy Pan Fried Zucchini: An Incredible 7-Step Recipe


  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 medium zucchini
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 cup breadcrumbs (or panko for extra crunch)
– 2 large eggs
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Olive oil (for frying)
– Grated parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)
– Fresh herbs like parsley or basil (optional, for garnish)


Instructions

Follow these easy steps to make your Crispy Pan Fried Zucchini:

1. Prepare the Zucchini: Wash and dry the zucchini. Cut off the ends and slice them into ½-inch thick rounds.
2. Set Up Dipping Stations: In one bowl, add flour and season it with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. In a second bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, add the breadcrumbs.
3. Coat the Slices: Dip each zucchini slice first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Then dip in the beaten eggs, followed by coating with breadcrumbs. Ensure each slice is well coated.
4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, add enough olive oil to cover the bottom. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is hot.
5. Pan Fry the Zucchini: Working in batches, add the coated zucchini slices to the hot oil. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once cooked, use a slotted spoon to transfer the zucchini to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
7. Serve Immediately: Sprinkle grated parmesan cheese on top, if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs before serving.

These straightforward steps will lead you to achieve perfectly crispy zucchini that everyone will rave about!
